We've assembled some of the most commonly asked questions that RB Hockey receives. If after reviewing these you still have questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. And remember as always, if your child does not enjoy the camp we offer a 100% money-back guarantee! We're that confident in our program!
A 50%
non-refundable deposit is required to hold your player's spot. All
payments are due four weeks prior to start date of camp. Deposits
are non-refundable after May 1st. A $75.00 cancellation fee will
be charged for all cancellations. Refunds or credits will not be
issued for campers expelled, not showing up to camp or leaving on
their own will. A credit towards future camp (minus $75.00 process
fee) will be issued for players who cannot attend camp due to injury,
a doctor's note may be required.
Camps
are held at the Iorio Arena in Walpole, MA. To get to the arena
from Boston, take Route 93 South to Route 95 South, then take Exit
9 (Route 1 South). At the 2nd light make a U-Turn. The Arena will
be on your right. Take the second driveway. For other detailed routes,

On the
first day of camp we break up players into separate groups on the
ice. Players are put into groups with players of not only there
age but ability. The drills are then tailored to push the advanced
players and create drills for the beginning players as well. Whether
an advanced player or a beginner we teach everyone with the same
enthusiasm, technique and work ethic.
The only
thing that we stress is that the hockey school is not a learn to
skate. If your player can skate fairly well and push a puck, we
will take them from there. The parent must talk to their player
about paying attention in line and absolutely no hitting, teasing
or fooling around in line.
As
far as the skill sessions go, we use hockey (not skating) experience
to determine which group your player will fit into. We evaluate
all players on a daily and weekly basis and will move players according
to there ability. If your player is advanced we will move them to
a higher (maybe older) group. If your player is put into an advanced
group and we feel it is too high, we will move them down. In the
weeklong camps we also split all players up by age and ability.
Please fill out the registration form completely when signing up
for camps.
Yes, we
offer a AAA camp. The difference about our AAA camp is the intensity
of the teaching and the tempo of the drills. Because the tempo is
higher we can get to more aspects of hockey situations and confrontational
drills. The techniques for skating and skills are the same whether
we are coaching advanced or beginners, so you still get the same
training that you expect from our programs.
Yes!
While female hockey players are welcome at all of our programs we
do offer women's and girl's only sessions. The drills we use are
set up so that each student is pushed to their full potential by
the coaches and not by just competing with other players. Coaches
stress a strong work effort from each player involved.
Yes!
Goalies, who are welcome at all of our programs, are taken aside
by our goalie coaches and worked with exclusively. We do not believe
in putting goalies on the ice just to "take shots," but
rather to learn skating, balance, agility, angling and technique.
When attending a camp or skill session, make sure to indicate that
you’re a goalie and be prepared to work very hard. To learn
more about our goalie program and to view all of our goalie camps,
please visit www.rbgoalie.com.
All aspects
of hockey and skating, including: forward and backward skating,
crossovers, stopping, quick/explosive starts, stick handling at
full speed, game situations, dekes, and more. Coaches not only explain
and demonstrate how to do drills, but why it is important in the
game of hockey.
RB is a
hockey school and pucks are used at all camps and skill sessions.
Players are not only taught fundamentals and skating but how to
carry the puck and stickhandle at full speed.
Yes
we have a defensive camp and a stick handling camp. At all of our
summer camps we teach Stick handling techniques, how to deliver
and take a check, skating, shooting and much more. We do not have
scrimmages but "Game Situation" drills are used to teach
players proper game techniques. |
