Tryouts will be conducted August 18 & 21, 2016. Pre-Tryout Mini Boot Camp: Bridging the gap between Registration and Tryouts, Sabre Girls Hockey will conduct its 2 nd Annual Pre-Tryout Mini Boot Camp August 1-11, 2016 at All Seasons Ice Rinks and Rocket Ice Arena. The Boot Camp will provide a high-tempo combination of both on and off-ice workouts to prepare players for tryouts and the upcoming 2016-17 Fall season. Players will be challenged during 6 on-ice and 3 off-ice sessions with the main focus on conditioning, puck movement, agility and speed. This training is offered in two separate age groups: 10U-12U (2004 through 2007 birth years) and 14U-19U (1997 through 2002 birth years). Program fee: $195. Additionally, Sabre Girls Coaching staff has designed an optional Independent Summer Workout Program to help our girls maintain their fitness level during the summer months. 1
High Performance College Showcase: In addition to the individual age level programs outlined in this registration packet, Sabre Girls Hockey will host our 3 rd High Performance College (HPC) Showcase October 7-9, 2016 in conjunction with the IIHF World Girls Ice Hockey Weekend. This inviteonly Showcase, which will field 8 teams at the 16U age level and 12 teams at the 19U age level, is a recruitment event for prospective NCAA Division III and ACHA female athletes around the country and provides an educational opportunity to inform female hockey players and parents the opportunities that exist outside of NCAA Division I hockey. Games will be officiated by female officials with both international and Olympic experience. Ice Cream Social: All current Sabre Girls and those girls interested in the Sabre Girls Hockey program are invited to attend our 2 nd Annual Ice Cream Social on Saturday, July 30 th from 1pm to 3pm at Commissioners Park. Girls will get to make their own sundaes, play a little street hockey and get to know one another and our coaches. This is a great opportunity to ask questions about our program in a fun and informal setting. Informational College/Recruitment Night: In September our 14U and 19U Girls will be invited to attend an Informational College/Recruitment Night led by our 19U coaching staff. They will receive information on how to create a highlight video, NCAA Division III and ACHA recruitment guidelines, a recruitment checklist outlining steps they should take from their freshman year through their senior year, how and when to contact college coaches, the importance of grades, responsible social media use and much more. Mentoring Program: Sabre Girls Hockey believes it is important for our older girls to give back and serve as role models to our younger girls; therefore, we have instituted a very successful mentoring program where older girls attend our younger girls practices on a scheduled rotating basis two times per month. Have questions or need more information? Please Contact Sabre Girls Director, Gretchen Cockey, at gcockey@sabrehockey.com or 630.414.1107. 2
