LTS Hockey Skating Skills Class

SundayS, @ 3:45–4:10 PM 

Queen City Sportsplex 

Cincinnati Cyclones Foundation Learn to Skate is excited to offer a new opportunity for Learn to Play Hockey skaters and our Jr. Cyclones Mites players. Many parents and skaters are so eager to move into the LTPH classes that often the most essential skills are not as strong as they could be. The creation of this class is to assist in developing your player into not only a stronger skater but give them the best advantage to being a strong and confident player on their team. We have received input from coaches from all levels in the creation of this class to see where they feel we can better your player earlier in their hockey journey. This class is an affordable way to achieve and master skills.  

This class will be taught with skating skills in mind. Curriculum will include but is not limited to:  

  • Balance 

  • Core strength 

  • Agility  

  • Edges 

  • Turns 

  • Long glides 

  • Changing directions 

  • One-foot glides 

  • Crossovers  

  • Stopping on both sides 

  • Flexion in the ankle 

  • Speed  

  • Putting skills together   

  • Transitions 

This class is 25 minutes in length for a cost of $85 for 7 weeks on Sundays at 3:45pm-4:10pm
