THE BATTLE CAMP
THE SIGNATURE PRO AMBITIONS HOCKEY CAMP   

The signature Pro Ambitions Camp designed by Jeff to encompass game simulated battles. Hockey is a series of 1 on 1 battles all over the ice. Players will leave this camp with awesome skill development, a better understanding of the game and most importantly - knowing how to battle for loose pucks. This is also the curriculum that Jeff has copyrighted/trademarked and sold to many youth hockey organizations nationwide. He is extremely proud of this unique and necessary conceptual approach to teaching. It is a compilation of the best advice, drills, and game theory from his career.

This camp is for all levels of players whether you're a mite b (like his son) or Midget. (We suggest you have 1 year of active playing under your belt). We are the masters of "Circuit Training" and small area games, the kids are always moving and always being corrected with lots of repetitions in a fun and spirited environment which fosters self confidence and great self esteem.

We are very proud to have had over 5000 kids attend one or more of our 300 day/boarding camps across North America last year.

We have the best coaches and best drills- at the end of the camp you leave a better player, period.  The Battle Camp has proven to be even more effective in training in accordance to the new rule changes in USA hockey. Lastly, players and parents do not shy away from the word "Battle". We teach how to win the battles of hockey safely and effectively respecting the game and opponent.

Quick Pertinent Facts when choosing a camp:

“Often imitated but never duplicated” Pro Ambitions is the pioneer and creator of this innovative approach to hockey. My drills are game situational. I have created this niche in the market place. I have trademarked and copy written my curriculum which has been sold to youth organizations nationwide. I have compiled my drills over the past 30 years-some date back to the best of my youth hockey coaches all the way up to my Pittsburgh Penguins Coach, Kevin Constantine. I am constantly studying and learning and updating my curriculum… My hockey peers are now coaches, players and management of Division one college hockey, AHL and NHL teams…We talk hockey all the time-we are teachers and ourselves students of the best sport on the planet: ICE HOCKEY

After attending a week of this camp you will come out of it ready to do battle for your team come fall! Jeff spent 12 years as professional hockey player for the Maple Leafs, Bruins and Penguins organizations and was recently inductee into the New Hampshire Legends of Hockey (NHLH) Hall of Fame, yet over the past 20 years, he has carefully crafted and developed the curriculum for Pro Ambitions, the top competitive hockey camp in the nation that provides young players the tools and building blocks to become some of the top hockey players in their respective regions.

Parent Testimonials:

Mr. Serowik,

I had my son, attend the Proambitions camp in the Westchester Skating
Academy last week.

Even better, I happened to be off that week so I was able to hang around
to see what was going on. Have to say that it was one of the best camps
I've ever had Dana in.

Kevin Mulligan ran a tight ship: the station circuits were run on time
to the minute, he kept the guys moving all the time, and of course he got
the conditioning in. I also liked the attention and teaching given to
checking.

And the competitive "battlecamp" nature was great. What I liked the best
is that the drills incorporated many hockey skills in each.

Also, as a football coach, I liked what Kevin setup as a "gauntlet": the
guys could skate either way, and the "defender" had to match them and
meet them in the "hole".

Overall, I loved the camp and have recommended it to everyone in our
hockey community since.

Only regrets being we didn't do the Haverhill camp. (Couldn't do it
back2back at this time). We will look out for that next year.

Thanks to you, and please thank Kevin again for me.

Until next time

THE PRO AMBITIONS HOCKEY, INC. BATTLE CAMP VS. ALL OTHER HOCKEY CAMPS ACCORDING TO JEFF

The Battle Camp offers each player the best opportunity to fully develop the fundamental skills that are necessary to be a good hockey player. All other countless hockey camps in the industry teach ice hockey skills. We teach the most important skill in hockey: how to adapt. The Pro Ambitions battle camp goes well beyond teaching basic hockey skills. My curriculum and philosophy teaches, trains and develops each player to adapt their skills to the ever changing situations that occur throughout every game. Ice hockey is a game of transition and small battles, the players that can adapt their skills to these situations are the players that will be successful.  Players honing their skills at my camps will see dramatic results in a short period of time and get a power boost to their game. They leave with a serious edge...It is fun while be challenging and gives results. Come kick ice with us this summer-The Pro Ambitions Hockey, Inc. BATTLE CAMP is coming to a rink near you.

Intimidate and Dominate is a term we like to instill in the kids' heads. We want players confident in their abilities and reflecting that edgy attitude on the ice in every drill. We want kids looking like hockey players and "Showing up" for every drill and looking the opponent in the eye and showing him/her you mean business. We make you practice better which in turn makes you play better.

Note: Battle Express is an On-Ice only cram session of its parent camp covering our on ice battle curriculum listed above. Includes: Free jersey.
