Conversation
Our official language is English, but it won’t be a problem if you don’t understand this language or can’t speak it fluently. Coaches are multilingual in our camp. People come here from all over the world and there haven’t been any problems with communication and understanding the training process yet. Hockey is a game full of gestures and signs all the same, so you will be able to see and understand everything even if you don’t know a word of English. Couches demonstrate every exercise several times, so you only have to repeat them.
Essential gear you have to take with you:
- Hockey uniform
- Hockey stick
- Skates
- Plastic water bottle
- Off-ice sportswear for current weather conditions
- Trunks, rubber flip-flops, swimming cap for classes in the swimming pool

Insurance
It is necessary to have an insurance that is valid in the Czech Republic!!! You need a standard traveler’s insurance for operating in the EU or in the Czech Republic, as well as further expansion of it for sports insurance.
First day organization
Registration begins at 12.00 and usually continues till the last participant. The opening ceremony starts at 16.00. After that the programme of the first day starts. Training schedule printings will be given out to each participant. There can be some changes in the schedule, so after registration we hand out at the final schedule. During the first class coaches determine the children’s level of skating and understand how to regroup the players. The regrouping can be lasted during the first week, but usually everything is clear after the first ice training.
Last day
Usually the last training is on Friday. After this training you have to empty the dressing room from your stuff. Try to stick to the schedule, and do not forget your belongings
Can the parents watch trainings?
Of course they can. Our arena has a special warm place form where hockey field can be observed. We can’t forbid you to move around the stadium, but we ask you not to disturb the trainings program, don’t scream or call children during the classes, don’t teach coaches “how they have to do and how they haven’t” and don’t come into the dresser room before and right away after the end of trainings. It is really important that, if you are in the arena, don’t enter the zone of benches for the players and coaches. Do not force us to extreme measures.
Parents are prohibited:
- It is strictly prohibited to go out onto the ice during the training
- Enter the zone of benches
- Talk with children during the class
