overview
Our developmental program is focused on helping Rocky athletes achieve their goals, whether that's traveling to a tournament, making their varsity team, or playing in college. We know that in order to improve, consistent training is vital, that's why we practice throughout the school year. Consistent training allows athletes to grow their confidence on the ball, increase hockey knowledge, and work together with a team. It is our collective goal to create a practice environment where athletes can try new things and make mistakes.
We believe there are two important pieces of development to focus on: training and mindset.
High School - Fall Season
This Fall we will start to implement groups based on skill level and commitment levels! Those descriptions are below, however, we are looking to have a more advanced/commitment and intermediate/learning groups so we can continue to cater to our athletes' development and growth.

Developmental - JV level or beginners. Development does not involve traveling. Developmental is a means to getting into our performance program if interested. We recommend new high school aged players to start with Developmental.
Performance - Varsity level, commitment for Winter & Spring, more competitive players looking to travel & play at a high level. Will prioritize attendance greater than 85% of the time. Those athletes within the Performance program will work on fitness, agility, game speed, and more advanced skills & playing tactics.
Training
Skill Development
We train on everything from technical skills to game strategy.
Agility
Footwork, coordination, and speed training are incorporated into every practice.
Hockey IQ
Understanding the game and strategy is vital to our success as a team.
mindset
At Rocky, we know the importance that mindset has in making or breaking a player, that's why it's one of our core values! In addition to training on the field, we work throughout the year on improving on our mindset. Each Rocky athlete is equipped with a journal to reflect and complete mindset work throughout the year.
what mindset means to us
Growth
There's always room to improve and get better.
No Opponent is too big
With heart, preparation, and a great game plan, we can overcome any opponent.
Failure is never final
We all make mistakes, it's about how we respond to them.
