Ice hockey camps for children

If your child passionately loves hockey, and not only watch, but also play, then summer is probably not such a holiday for him. In this case, the perfect gift for him would be a trip to the hockey camp for children.

In general, the children's ice hockey camp is the same recreation center, like everyone else, that is, they come here in many ways in order to relax and gain strength. But this is where the similarities end, because the hockey version was created specifically for those children who cannot imagine themselves without this sport. Here all the conditions are created in order to improve their skills every day - there are rollers, pucks and hockey sticks, as well as specially allocated time for your favorite game. The season in this case is not a hindrance, so in the summer you can drive the puck over the ice field.

An additional plus is that such camps gather like-minded people. Despite the relatively high popularity of hockey in Russia, it will be much more difficult to assemble a couple of teams for a regular game in the courtyard than would be the case with football. But not in the hockey camp, because everyone here is crazy about hockey! This also applies to staff - if there are theoretical classes here, then they will be devoted to the same topic.

What are they doing in hockey camp? In general, classes in most of these organizations can be divided into three types:

• Theory. This includes literally everything, from the principles of the tactical construction of the game of professional coaches and former players to the peculiarities of psychological self-motivation before matches from sports psychologists.
• Classes on the ground. This includes, in the main, the development of individual methods of working with a club.
• Classes on the ice. And this, in fact, is the practice - here you can improve all the same techniques and techniques of skiing, and you can go directly to the business, and, typing a command, to teach your opponent a lesson.

Due to the fact that Russia is a rather hockey country, there are not so many specialized camps here. Of course, as a percentage of the total number of recreation centers, they represent a very small part, but if one is willing, one can get there.

Probably the most famous is Junior Hockey Camp in the city of Sochi. Trainings are held here at the same rink, which was used for the 2014 Olympic Games. The guys are trained by an international team of professionals, all installations of foreigners are necessarily translated into Russian. The cost of the voucher for young athletes 9-14 years old includes absolutely everything, including equipment and other necessary accessories.

In the Moscow region of Mozhaisk, or rather, near it, is located the training camp Ice Style. Here, the emphasis is on an individual approach - a special card is added to each person having a rest, where all information about his attitude to hockey is entered. Much attention is paid to sports psychology. For regular visitors there is a discount system.

There are similar camps in other regions of the country.. For children from Kazan and all of Tatarstan, the International Individual Hockey Camp (MIHL) in Naberezhnye Chelny opens its doors. For the little hockey players of the Nizhny Novgorod region in Nizhny Novgorod, at least two institutions work - the Hockey Camp NN and the T-Hockey School. Something similar can be tried to find in any city where professional hockey is represented, so there are chances not only for those who live in world hockey centers - in conditional Pskov you can also achieve success.

Foreign camps often suggest a completely different approach to the training of future players - they are often highly specialized, for example, designed exclusively for the defenders, or only for goalkeepers, or only for field players. It is necessary to go there, if only because there is a completely different school, and there is an opportunity to learn something like that which will not be given at home.

In European hockey, the Czechs are considered to be a traditional force, so it is in the Czech Republic that the most camps of the corresponding profile are. What is worth only one Elgraff in the city of Beroun, gathering the best Czech coaches, recruiting field players and goalkeepers separately, including according to an individual program. Czech organizations in general are internationalized, so it is always interesting here. Similarly, similar institutions in Slovakia and Hungary.

Over the ocean, hockey traditions are no less great; young hockey players are waiting there in Canada and the USA. More attention, of course, Canada, as a multiple world champion, and the most famous here are the Canada Hockey Camp and the TWIST Elite High Performance Summer Camp.

If you want the child not to leave too far from home, but still practice for by the border, pay attention to the Baltic States - quite good centers are represented in Lithuania and Latvia.

The cost of the voucher depends largely on the conditions of stay (the number of people living in the same room, the features of the rinks and equipment), as well as the location of the camp (the total amount may include the cost of transfer to and from, influence local prices for food, and so Further). The length of stay also plays a role, but in general it is usually about a week.

So, if the camp is located somewhere in Russia, then as of 2017, expect to spend anywhere from 20 to 30 thousand rubles. Approximately the same prices in the near abroad, in particular, in Slovakia and Hungary.

In the Czech camps, the price is much higher - you have to spend 40-60 thousand rubles per shift. As for Canadian organizations, there the cost needs to be clarified separately, since they do not have standard conditions - a transfer may be included in the price, or it may not be organized at all, it is permissible to settle in a Canadian family.

Should I say that for the lover in ice sports teenager Is a trip to a hockey camp one of the best impressions of a lifetime? Accordingly, in the overwhelming majority of cases, the responses of parents are enthusiastic - the reaction of the children simply does not imply another answer. Certain negative moments are possible only if the choice fell on a very remote foreign organization that does not organize departure from Russia - then problems may arise in order to deliver the child there and take him away from there, but that’s all the possible negative .
