Skills Lab WaitlistCompare with the Accelerator

Open to families across Southern California. The rinks are in Irvine and Tustin.

The full course and workout library is included at no extra cost.

Enrollment is capped at 18 players, which is what keeps every session at four to six. Availability is limited and a waitlist runs when it is full.

A Skills Report Card every two months, or that month is free.

The week

What a week looks like.

Two coached sessions, work in between, and a written report on a schedule.

1
One session on the ice

Small-group sticktime with me at Great Park Ice. Three slots run each week and you take the one that fits your schedule.

2
One session off the ice

Hybrid skill work at an outdoor rink or on inline skates. Same curriculum, different surface, more quality reps in the week.

3
Homework in between

Work tied to whatever your player is on in that block, so the two days at the rink are not the only two days of development.

4
A written report every eight weeks

You get a document that says where your player stands and what comes next.

What is included

The whole system.

One price. No tiers and no add-ons.

Weekly on-ice session

Small-group sticktime at Great Park Ice, four to six players, with rotating weekly slots to choose from.

Weekly hybrid session

Off-ice skill training at the Heritage Park outdoor rink in Tustin and at Irvine Inline.

Accelerated Development Curriculum

A long-term plan mapped session by session, so every week is planned in advance.

Six Skills Report Cards a year

A written, individual progress report every eight weeks against a day-one baseline.

Monthly Hockey IQ Workshop

One hour a month. Players bring a game clip and we work through the decision they made.

The full course library

Every course, both workout libraries and the NHL Video Library, included at no extra cost.

Weekly hockey homework

Work between sessions tied to the current focus, so development does not stop at the rink.

A seat in a capped cohort

Enrollment stops at 18 so sessions stay at four to six players. The cap is what protects the session size.

Month to month

No contract and no season-long commitment. Stay because it is working.

Proof

How you know it is working.

Development is easy to feel good about and hard to verify. This is how it gets verified.

1
A baseline in week one

Your player is assessed and it is written down. Everything after that is measured against that baseline.

2
A report card every eight weeks

Six a year, each one documenting what moved and what the next block of work is.

3
The eight-week threshold

If the first report card does not show measurable improvement, I refund your first two months in full.

4
The first two weeks

If you do not think this is the best-coached ice your player has been on, tell me and I refund your first month in full.

Straight answers

What the Lab does not do.

Worth knowing before you join.

It is local, and that is a real limit

Sessions run in Irvine and Tustin. If you cannot get there, the Skills Accelerator is the honest answer, and I coach your player through their own film instead.

It is not team practice

This is skill development. Your player still needs their team and their games, and this is built to sit alongside both.

Days move week to week

Ice availability changes. The week ahead is posted every Sunday, and makeups run within the same week when a slot is open.

Access has limits

I reply within twenty-four hours on weekdays through the portal. I do not offer unlimited messaging or unlimited video calls.

FAQs

Your questions, answered.

Ninety-six coached sessions across the year, which works out to about fifty dollars a session in a group of four to six. The report cards, the monthly workshop and the full course library are all inside that price.

Competitive youth players roughly 10U through 16U, from developing skaters through travel and AAA. The sessions are grouped so a player is working next to players at their level.

On-ice at Great Park Ice in Irvine. Off-ice at the Heritage Park outdoor rink in Tustin and at Irvine Inline. If you cannot reach those, the Skills Accelerator is the honest answer instead.

Makeups run within the same week when a slot is open. There are no credits and no rollovers, because the seat is held for your player whether they use it or not.

No. It is month to month and you can cancel any time. Almost everything else in youth hockey asks for a season; this does not.

It is already included. Every Skills Lab family gets the full course library, both workout libraries and the NHL Video Library at no extra cost.

Waitlist open

Two sessions a week, measured every eight weeks.

The Skills Lab is $399 a month in Southern California, capped at 18 players. Join the waitlist and I will be in touch when a seat opens.
