Philosophy of the Breakfast Club

• Make use of idle ice and be inclusive.
• Provide an opportunity for players to get extra
  ice time in a structured way and thus improve
  their skills
• Repetition, using a variety of drills will
  improve game confidence
• Provide an opportunity to mentor coaches and
  model good ice management

Long Term Athlete Development

• Experts say it takes close to 10,000 repetitions
  to master a skill!!
• Poor training of hockey skills ages 6-16 can
  never be fully recovered
• Windows for development occur and ages 9-12 is
  very important for acquiring skills

Our Goals

• Provide an opportunity for players to improve
  their skills through quality drills
• Model good practice techniques and activities to
  coaches who attend
• Create drills specific to the needs of the
  players but challenge all.
• Stress this is voluntary, we do not pressure or
  recruit kids to come.
• Free of charge where possible

  errors and suggesting ways to improve their

On Ice Experience

• Never too late to do skills
• Players are deficient in many areas
• They appreciate learning new things
• We need to teach these skills at a younger age
• Practices are the key repetition for motor skill
  memory
• We shouldnt criticize coaches, we need to help
  them

Challenges

• Volunteer coaches big commitment. The more kids,
  the more help needed
• Carberry Breakfast Club coordinator- Mike
  Donais
• Number of kids initially set age/number limit? A
  certain skill level is needed for drills. Number
  dependant will separate kids into age categories
  i.e.- Novice/Atom and PeeWee/Bantum, No one will
  be turned away
• Supervision needs to be done until all kids
  leave
• School liaison to be sure they are there on time
• Discipline clear to parents that this is not a
  practice and behavior problems will not be
  tolerated
• Town/ municipal council and rink manager free
  ice
• Corporate and local sponsorship initiatives and
• Support and train your on ice coaches (NCMP
  clinic, visitation to see the structure).
