PV Elite Small-Group Development is designed for athletes who want consistent, individualized instruction in a small-group environment where every repetition matters.

Each group is limited to just six skaters, allowing coaches to provide constant feedback while maintaining a competitive pace that challenges athletes every session.

Start/End Dates: October-February
Total Sessions: 17 total 1h15m sessions over program duration
1:3 Coach to Player ratio

The program is designed around position-specific development, high repetition, and direct feedback from PV Elite staff.

Athlete Evaluations

Every participant will receive three individual written evaluations throughout the program:

  1. Beginning-of-program evaluation

  2. Mid-program evaluation

  3. End-of-program evaluation

These evaluations help identify strengths, establish development priorities and measure progress throughout the season.
