The Program

The Wayne State University Female Hockey School is designed to help aspiring female hockey players between the ages of 9-19. We will devote as much care and attention to our novice player as we will to our gifted athlete. Students will be grouped according to ability and age.

On Ice

The first session each day is devoted to individual skill development. Focus will be on power skating, puck handling/protection, passing and shooting, checking/angling and scoring. Each players skating stride will be evaluated by our professional coaching staff.

The second session will be devoted to game concepts. Offensive and defensive concepts such as puck possession/movement, cycling, breakouts, zone entry will be taught.

WSU Camp Philosophy

Our goal is to provide your daughter with the highest caliber instruction available. We guarantee the she will be provided with the finest on and off ice coaching. Our priority is to ensure that all of our students, regardless of ability, skate away from our school with increased confidence in their skills and a greater understanding and passion for this wonderful sport.

Staff

You will not find a camp coaching staff comparable to what we can provide here in Michigan. Our staff includes instructors with Professional, Olympic and Collegiate coaching and playing experience. All have extensive hockey school backgrounds.
