Skills Sessions At Medina Pinnacle

Our skills sessions one of our most popular offerings.  The weekly 1 hour individual skills sessions are offered at the Pinnacle in Medina location from November 9, 2022 to January 25, 2023.  The sessions are tailored to specific topics and areas that normally get limited coaching (shooting & dodging, defense, and goalies).  The sessions will be in small groups (10 players or less per coach for shooting / dodging and defense, and 3 players or less per coach for goalies).

The sessions are open to all area players and a first come, first served basis.
