Saturday is a day when ice time can be limited at many rinks. It is also the end of the weekly microcycle. When planning your week, it makes sense that this be a light day. It’s a good day to review the key jump and spin techniques that have been learned or built throughout the week and a perfect time to review all the drills and exercises of the past 5 days.
If your skater doesn’t have a lesson scheduled for Saturday, text or have a brief conversation about what they should do in between sessions. This allows you to still indirectly guide your skaters and holds them accountable: a win-win for everyone!
