Fall Power Skating with Michelle Popoff
REGISTRATION NOW OPEN - Fall Power Skating with Michelle Popoff
SDMHA is excited to announce we will once again be offering Power Skating this season with Coach Michelle Popoff.
Michelle is a Skate Canada Certified Power Skating Coach with a Figure Skating background. She has over 40 years of teaching experience with skaters of all ages and has worked with numerous lower mainland Hockey and Ringette Associations, Richmond Jets and Ravens, Richmond and Vancouver Ringette to name a few, plus a couple of local skating clubs for over 30yrs, as well as her own Spring and Summer Camps out of the Richmond Ice Centre in the off-season.
Michelle is also the Head Coach/Supervisor of the City of Richmond’s recreational Learn to Skate program year-round at the Minoru Arenas and Richmond Ice Centre.
Focus for these skating sessions will be to increase our speed and master our skating skills with that speed. The program is based on repetition and progression of edge utilization, body lean, balance and agility, creating movement that becomes instinctual with speed for game play!
Each session, introducing new skating skills and techniques, breaking down that skill in small space and then incorporating them into fun, fast and challenging drills, increasing the skater’s confidence in large space with pace.
Michelle is a passionate, energetic skating coach that strives to get the best out of every skater. She prides herself on motivating all players, of all capabilities in a fun, high-energy but challenging setting, supporting each player's development while they gain confidence and build a strong skating foundation along the way.
