Training Season 2007-2008
Our normal training times are as follows, however, during the off-season a number of 'trials' are held, you will be invited the necessary trial for your age group and your ability. These will not be published here, but you will be instructed by your current team manager of the correct trial to attend. During this time some normal training sessions will not be run, once again, you will be instructed by your team manager of which training session to attend and which training sessions are not running.

During school holidays Planet Ice usually wish to run extra public skating sessions and some training sessions have to be adjusted or, in extreme circumstances, cancelled. We will update the table below to reflect any differences in training for the coming weeks.

We advise people to bookmark this page to be notified of any changes we make.

Training September 2007 onwards

We now have over 13 hours of ice time at the Skydome Arena, this has enabled us to give each age group and the beginners group an hour of training a week, instead of groups having to share training sessions.

Training Up
A team coach will issue an invitation via his manager to a specific team (younger Blaze or Menace, or same age group Menace) for a number of players to train up. This would normally be a line of three forwards and two defence. Players should be selected for training up on rotation so that everyone who wishes to train up gets the opportunity to do so.

The manager of the invited team will give the names of players proposed for 'training up' to the manager of the team issuing the invitation one week in advance. The coach who has made the invitation will then confirm that he accepts the proposed selection, or not, so that players can have plenty of notice.

The coaches' decision is final. Players' safety should be of prime concern.

(Note: Players normally train up one age group. Girls may also train down one age group at the coaches' discretion.)
