What is covered in a Private Lesson
A private lesson is a 1on1 on ice session with a Battery coach. These typically last 30 minutes and usually focus on "combination" drills that involve skating, stickhandling, passing and shooting. Repetition is key to make sure that every aspect of the drill is done perfectly. We can focus on any one skill if you would like.
What is a semi-private lesson?
Private lessons are great but it's tough to skate your hardest for a half hour. Semi-Private lessons are offered for 4-6 kids of similar age groups to get a lesson together. Note the times but they are typically an hour long. Skill level or size of the other players is unimportant since there is very limited interaction between the kids.
