How many times per week depends on the season (in-season, off-season, pre-season, etc.). Early off-season we're only going to condition once this year, moving to up to 4 times as the season approaches.

Think quality, not quantity. Our slideboard training sessions almost NEVER exceed 15 minutes and are usually closer to 12. We have a series of conditioning progressions, but one of our less complex sessions may look like: 8 x 30s work intervals with 60s rest OR 12 x 20s work intervals with 40s rest. Both of these only take 12 minutes. It's important that your son maintains a good posture throughout the slideboarding, emphasizing good stride recovery and arm swing mechanics while keeping his chest and eyes up. -Kevin Hi Jerry!

To make an impact - What would a good slideboard workout look like? How much time? How many days per week? My son uses a slideboard, but I am not sure he is doing enough time.

I actually built an adjustable one when I was younger. I wish I still had the instructions for how to build it so I could share it with everyone else. It's too good of a tool to not have access to! -Kevin Thanks! I actually built an adjustable one when I was younger.

Great question! The major focus at that age should be developing overall athleticism. Learning proper jumping, landing, and transitional movement patterns at that age will allow your son to develop the foundation he needs to thrive in the future. First step quickness can be improved from short-distance (e.g. 10 yards) sprints. I don't generally recommend hockey players spend any time using ladder drills because they spend too much time staring at the ground and the fine footwork doesn't translate to the movements used on the ice. Hope this helps. -Kevin Hi Art. Great question! The major focus at that age should be developing overall athleticism.

Great training tool! I made a 8 ft long one for power, and a 6ft long one that really helps to build speed and push off strength! Great advice! I have two slide boards and built them both.
