In competitive youth sports, every coach is looking for the edge — the extra 1% that separates a winning team from the rest. But with ice time at a premium in Stittsville and limited practice slots, many coaches are asking:
“How do I improve my team’s performance without more time on the ice, field, or court?”
The answer?
Dryland training.
And Stittsville coaches who are implementing structured, off-surface team training are seeing huge returns — not just in performance, but in mindset, injury reduction, and team culture.
Let’s face it — ice time is expensive, and many teams are capped at 1–2 sessions per week. Even then, most of that time is spent scrimmaging or running plays. But dryland training gives you a controlled environment to:
✅ Build foundational strength
✅ Improve speed, agility, and explosiveness
✅ Boost cardiovascular conditioning
✅ Reduce injury risk
✅ Reinforce team discipline and mental toughness
And it doesn’t require a single minute of extra ice time.
At Between The Bumpers in Stittsville, we specialize in dryland and team training that’s:
Sport-Specific: Whether you coach hockey, soccer, football, or lacrosse — we design sessions that translate directly to your sport.
Age-Appropriate: Our programming is adapted for youth teams, high school athletes, and rep squads.
Coach-Friendly: We handle the programming, coaching, and logistics. You just show up with your team.
Sessions are led by certified strength & conditioning coaches who understand how to develop stronger, faster, and more resilient athletes — safely.
Coaches in Stittsville who partner with us report:
🔹 Better energy and explosiveness in late-game situations
🔹 Faster recovery and fewer injuries during the season

“We noticed our players were getting tired halfway through games — not anymore.”
