Experience Hockey
With CAMP SUMMERS USA

Working as a hockey specialist counselor at a US summer camp is an opportunity to share a dynamic sport that develops coordination, speed, strategy, and teamwork. Depending on the program’s facilities, the activity may focus on field hockey, street/roller hockey, or other adaptations suited for children and teens. As a specialist, your mission will be to present the game in a clear, entertaining, and safe manner—both for experienced players and for those holding a stick for the very first time. Hockey can become one of the most high-energy activities of the summer, and your leadership will help ensure that everyone feels included, motivated, and capable of improving with every session.

Teach Hockey to Your Campers!

TUS TAREAS

Tus funciones incluirán preparar el espacio, revisar el equipamiento y planificar ejercicios progresivos de técnica y juego. Podrás enseñar cómo sujetar el stick, conducir la pelota o el puck según la modalidad, pasar, recibir, tirar, defender, moverse por el campo y respetar las reglas básicas. También organizarás circuitos de coordinación, juegos reducidos, retos de precisión, ejercicios por estaciones y partidos adaptados al nivel del grupo. Será importante explicar las consignas de forma sencilla, demostrar los movimientos necesarios y crear actividades que mantengan a todos implicados. Algunos participantes querrán un reto técnico mayor; otros necesitarán familiarizarse con el material antes de jugar. La adaptación y la variedad serán claves para que cada sesión funcione.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Profiles with experience playing, coaching, or teaching hockey, physical education, or team sports are highly valued. Requirements may vary depending on the style of hockey and the camp, but responsibility, patience, energy, and the ability to lead diverse groups are essential. During the summer, you will use English in a real-world context, live alongside counselors from other countries, and develop skills in organization, communication, and activity management. If you are passionate about hockey and want to share its values in an international environment, working as a specialist counselor in the United States can be a very active and enriching professional experience.

SAFETY FIRST

Hockey allows campers to develop personal skills in addition to athletic ones. Campers learn to communicate quickly, find their place within a team, and make decisions while on the move. They also develop discipline, focus, reaction speed, and respect for rules. As a counselor, you will be able to reinforce sportsmanship, teaching them how to compete without losing control and how to value both their own efforts and those of others. Matches and group challenges promote collaboration, support, and the ability to resolve minor conflicts. Your attitude will be decisive in creating a positive environment: celebrating a great assist, technical improvement, or an act of teamwork can be just as important as acknowledging a goal. In this way, sports become a tool for personal growth.
