One Goal for Hockey Skills Sessions-- 100% Attendance!

Our goal with hockey skills sessions should be more than just teaching the children. We should simultaneously be teaching our coaches to be better coaches and stiving to achieve 100% attendance by both the young players and the coaches.

Experienced skills coaches can train certain of us coaches who are particularly motivated to learn and improve our skills. We too are excellent teachers and can offer high quality skills sessions at more flexible hours.

We are wise if we broaden our thinking about how to implement hockey skills sessions so that we maximize the number of players attending with our goal being 100% attendance. At the same time we must maximize the number of coaches trained to teach the skills sessions to give us 100% flexibility as clearly if only half our players are attending skills, no matter how good the skills sessions are, we are falling far short of achieving our goal.
