2011-12 Development Program
Purpose: The purpose of the Mite Development program is to increase the skill level of young skaters within the Komets association by focusing on skill development and placing the players in situations where they can maximize the amount of time touching the puck. The quickest way for a player to improve is by focusing on skills rather than playing games.
Why Cross-Ice Games? Cross-ice games maximize the amount of time players handle the puck. At any level of play, an average player may only have control of the puck for a few seconds during the course of a game. In a small area/cross-ice game, that same player may have over a minute of puck possession time over the course of 6-7 shifts in one 10 minute game. (Source: USA Hockey)
General Format:
- All players will practice one night per week. These practices will be one hour in length and will primarily focus on developing the skills of the players and goalies.
- Players will be divided based on their general skill level to ensure each player is being challenged appropriately and can focus on the next appropriate practice skill set.
- Teams will play cross-ice games on Saturday mornings.
- NEW for 2011-12 Season: Players will be split into teams and will have a set game schedule (all games to be played at Kenosha Ice)
- Program is intended for skaters 3 - 10 years old
Need Equipment?
Players in need of equipment can be sized up for equipment prior to the first day of each session. The equipment is complimentary for the player's first year, as long as the player remains in the Komets program. Please note, we do not currently provide the following equipment: mouth guards, neck guards, or supporters/cups. Equipment is distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
Below is a schedule for each of the 4 sessions for the 2011-12 hockey season. Each session is approximately 8 weeks and includes 16 hours of ice.
