Elite level training for 14 and older high-level hockey players

Specialized Training

Small Groups. Big Gains. At VSL, we never sacrifice your hockey player’s development for the bottom line. All sessions are done on full-ice to maximize your speed development, agility and full-rink awareness.

These unique methods are developed with a deep understanding and application of the latest research in skating mechanics, combining exercise science, biomechanics, neuromuscular development and physics. Your skater will see quantifiable results, and will do so in days and weeks, not months and years.

Speed skaters for decades have worked tirelessly on the ice, in wind tunnels and with off-ice modalities to learn the most efficient technique for speed and power on the ice. Learn why each step is important, and how you too can unleash the power of a perfect stride.

See our camp schedule below. If you are looking for in-season training, visit our Valerio Speed Academy page.

Camps

Camps consist of both long-term speed and strength development, and short, week-long intensives modeled after elite speed skating training at the Olympic Training Center. Learn to push your body like you never have before by participating in our six week spring and summer Speed and Strength Camps, or our week long “Intensives.” All camps are designed for high-level skaters and are grouped by birth year.
