Our World-class professional coaches with a comprehensive understanding of the principles of growth and development committed to implementing the finest methodology by using Eastern European style of training.
I want to take this opportunity to tell you what an amazing camp you put together for defensemen. I’ve coached my son’s hockey team in our small town of Indiana, PA for seven years ( 3 as a head coach) and have always impressed upon my players the importance of defense. From transition skating to skating with your head up and reading the play from many different angles it’s without a doubt one of the hardest positions to play. Your high-level drills and techniques are second to none! We’ve been to many camps but they are nowhere near the level as yours. My son Mason has learned so much in just a week's time and loves the discipline and structure you bring. We are a believer in Coach Yuri and will most certainly come back time and again.

“Thank you Yuri, Alona and all the coaches for an awesome week at camp. My son has truly enjoyed the camp the past 2 years. Wishing you all a beautiful year!”

“Our sons skating improved more from one week of Yuri’s Camp than it did all season.
A great Camp if you are prepared to work hard!”

“Jayden had a great time. He learned a lot and is now practicing his new skills. He enjoyed the team and said he wants to come back! ? Well done to all the team behind the scene for putting the camp together, they were extremely professional, flexible, attentive, kind and providing Jayden the direction he required.
Thank you!!”

“At the recommendation of a friend, our daughter (Team Pittsburgh U14) attended this camp. Never have we so clearly witnessed one single training event effecting such a marked improvement in her game. Her speed, passing, and shooting improved to the point at which we almost did not recognize her on the ice. The results were remarkable — certainly better than anything any of my three players have seen from any other Pittsburgh-area training in the past. We are signing her and our other two players up NOW for the next summer. Thank you!”
Sue McGrath
“We just wanted to let you know we thought your camp was the best camp our son has participated in. The intensity was great! The timed skating the first day and the last day are proof that hard-work pays off. Our son Hunter improved a lot. He really enjoyed it and knew he was getting some of the best training. We will definitely recommend this camp to our friends and we will be back again! Thanks for helping our son to become a better skater and player!”
