| How do I ensure that my 10U hockey player continues to develop during the offseason? |

To unlock a child's full athletic potential, USA Hockey recommends following the principles of long-term athlete development and using the offseason as a time to participate in other sports and activities. However, beyond the scope of developing a youngster's physical attributes, participation in other sports and activities, and even free play with neighborhood friends, can have a positive impact that goes well beyond athleticism. |

Q: Is there anything my 10U hockey player can do at home to enhance athleticism and improve hockey skills in a cost-effective manner?
A: First and foremost, USA Hockey recommends playing multiple sports to enhance athleticism, and many of those complementary sports also enhance hockey skills. If your child also has a strong desire to work on their hockey game outside the rink this summer, there are plenty of activities that can be done in your garage. I encourage some of the following categories for your 10U player.

| Jump Rope |
| Oldies can sometimes be goodies and the jump rope certainly qualifies as both. It's such a simple fitness tool, but it can also be one of the most valuable for children in the 10U age classification. |
