What Parents Say About Druzhba78
Martin H
parent of U13 forward (Germany)
We wanted speed and confidence. After a week at Druzhba78, his stride is longer, transitions are cleaner, and his club coach noticed it at the very next practice. The staff kept us informed and he loved every minute.
Andrej S
parent of U15 player (Slovakia)
We chose Druzhba78 for its power-skating focus. The technique finally clicked — now his acceleration and balance are clearly better in games. Professional environment, caring supervision.
Petra N
parent of U10 player (Czech Republic)
As a mom, safety and clear communication matter most. The coaches explained techniques in a way my daughter finally understood and helped her grow daily. She came home proud, faster, and excited to skate again.
Viktor P
parent of U13 goalie (Ukraine)
Our goalie is often overlooked at team practices. Here he had dedicated work and movement training every day. His saves, footwork, and confidence jumped noticeably — he can’t wait to come back.
Karolína D
parent of U9 player (Poland)
As a young mom, I was nervous about sending my son to camp abroad. But from the first day, the communication and organization made me feel at ease. The coaches were patient, professional, and gave him the kind of attention he doesn’t always get at his club practices. He came home skating stronger, better and already asking when we can return.

The Technical Foundation We Provide
This is our blueprint for powerful, efficient, and game-ready skating — on and off the ice
Edge Control & Balance
Players learn how to truly use their edges for agility, speed control, and direction changes — mastering inside and outside edge pressure in motion.
Explosive Starts & Stride Power
We correct inefficient stride mechanics and teach players to generate power from the hips, legs, and core — not just pushing hard.
Transitions & Turns
Fast forward-to-backward movement, clean pivots, and seamless edge transfers — all taught and corrected in real time.
Jump Mechanics & Core Strength
Plyometric movements build lower-body explosiveness, while core activation develops control in every stride and turn.
Balance & Body Positioning
We simulate edge control using dryland drills to help players feel proper positioning and stability — especially when fatigued.
Agility, Reaction & Coordination
High-speed footwork, reaction tasks, and multi-movement drills that directly translate into faster decision-making and sharper movement on the ice.
