A Private lesson via facetime or Zoom. 4D coaches can do a one on one lesson with a student at home. The coach will show drills and talk about what we are looking for and then watch as the student performs the drill over the video call.

This format will provide the same feedback and expert analysis a player would receive in an   on-ice private training session.
