Elite In-Season Performance Program (2026–2027)

Train Smarter. Stay Stronger. Perform All Season.

 

Continue Improving All Season Long

The Elite In-Season Performance Program is designed for hockey players who want to continue improving throughout the season, not simply maintain. Our program combines the flexibility athletes need during the hockey season with the individualized coaching DASH Training is known for. Athletes train during scheduled 90-minute sessions while following a fully customized performance program designed specifically for their goals, position, competition schedule, injury history, and individual needs. Unlike a traditional open gym, every athlete works directly with a DASH Performance Coach throughout their entire workout. With a maximum 1:4 coach-to-athlete ratio, our coaches provide continuous instruction, technique correction, progression, and accountability every step of the way. Training is offered six days per week with flexible morning, afternoon, and evening sessions, making it easy to train around practices, games, school, and travel. To ensure every athlete receives consistent individualized coaching and feedback, enrollment is intentionally limited.

​

Who is the program for? 

Designed for hockey players born 2014 - 2008, this program is ideal for athletes committed to long-term development and maximizing their performance throughout the season. Whether you're new to DASH or returning for another year, our individualized approach helps athletes continue building strength, power, speed, mobility, and durability while maintaining the progress made during the offseason.
