including transition this summer. Once two more board members join, those

Sign Up for Summer 2008 TGHA
Hockey
TGHA is
sponsoring an exciting summer hockey program that will help improve your
skating, skill development and game fundamentals just in time for the upcoming
season. There will be six evening sessions offered during July and August for
all girls hockey players registered with USA Hockey. The ice time will be split
based on age and ability so that each participant is offered appropriate level
practice and scrimmage opportunities.
The House
session should be a good fit for our Initiation and many House or Recreation
level skaters. We will focus on basic skating technique, puck handling and of
course fun games. We are delighted to have Beth Mannion, our TGHA friend and
assistant coach with Initiation, lead the instruction for the House sessions.
For the
Travel team and advanced House skaters we'll offer some higher intensity and
physically challenging skating drills together with practice to improve your puck
control and shooting skills. In addition to the talents of our Travel team
coaches, the skaters in this session will receive the benefits of Beth
Mannion's training in power skating.
Look
forward in your calendars to July and August and save the Monday dates listed
below to join us for some fun filled evenings at The RINK!

be big help to know before the first session who can attend full time as well

We look forward to returning once
again this summer, bringing a solid well rounded camp to your neighborhood.
With gas prices as high as they are this year, you will have no need for
unnecessary travel expenses to attend outside camps this summer, we will be
bringing our 19 years of hockey camp experience to your city. Here is a general
overview of our 2008 summer instructional program:
1. Daily Power Skating (1.5 hours/day) -
Forward Stride, Tight Turns, Backwards
Skating & Stops & Starts - Emphasizing deep knee
bend and proper body
posture

receive a 1 on 1 video analysis of their daily drill with the Head Instructor,
including audio, telestrator, computer comparisons and the introduction of our
New SIHA Video Lab and Coach Cam (Student & Instructor). This entire
process is recorded to each student's take-home VHS tape or DVD, for future
review and a nice keepsake of the camp.
5. Daily Off-Ice Shooting - Each student will experience our SIHA Shooting
Gallery for 45 minutes/day (wrist, backhand, snap & slap shots - with
rotating targets) - Elite players will fire weighted pucks for further strength
development & shot accuracy on a daily basis.

various hockey muscles and increase lower body quickness. All drills are worked

from their college hockey organizations (Division 1 & 3 N.C.A.A. &
former pro hockey players). "Our best guarantee for a quality hockey
education!" Our staff are all very charismatic and extremely good with
