VALLEY FITNESS AND HOCKEY COACHING
Sport Specific Coaching
WHO ARE WE?
We are a local team of coaches in the Pembina Valley dedicated to the development, improvement, and overall enjoyment of sport in our area. Our goal is to focus on getting your body and mind ready for the game you play, and preparing you to compete against the best.
​
We focus on a specific On-Ice curriculum that helps players understand the "how" and "why" certain scenarios happen/skills and tactics are used, without sacrificing tempo, pace, and timing. We understand today's athletes and want to help progress them for the next levels!
​
We work closely with our partners: Rise Sport Performance, to ensure our athletes are receiving a quality summer training experience!
"ABILITY
is what you're capable of doing
MOTIVATION
determines what you do.
ATTITUDE
determines how well you do it."
- Lou Holtz
