WBLAHA Dry-Land Center

Acceleration North / WBLAHA Treadmill Skills Deck

  

WBLAHA has upgraded the skating treadmill and added a “SKILLS DECK” to the back side of it.  This extension and upgrade will now allow the Acceleration training staff to work on puck control, passing, and shooting  while keeping stride.  If the skater stops moving his/her feet with the puck……they will fall down!!  This is an advanced training technique that will work well for kids that have put in some time developing a good stride.  Please take a look at some of these pictures.  We will be adding live footage of players using this to the website to keep checking back.  New programs focusing on SKILLS DECK training will be available once dry land team training is over.


Treadmill Schedule

The individual treadmill schedule will be updated starting in March as team use of the treadmill will dominate the winter months. Individuals that want treadmill time can purchase our new 10 session punch card and schedule extra skating at Acceleration North. Call (651) 486-0020 for details.
