Skill training
Skill training as an app.
For ice-hockey kids aged 8 to 16.
Heroskills is daily ice-hockey skill training at home: five drills and three tactics questions in 10 minutes every day, from 160 in the catalog.
In short
What is skill training in ice hockey?
Skill training means practicing the single abilities that make the difference in a game – stickhandling, shooting, passing, footwork and game sense.
A skill training app brings those drills home: a ready-made session every day, adapted to age, with timer and counter. Your kid needs no coach next to them.
Heroskills adds to club training, it does not replace it. 10 minutes a day add up to more than 60 hours of extra skill training a year.
