3 Fundamental Ways PX3 AMP is Changing the Game

1. AMP FORMAT | Cross-Ice vs. Full-Ice 

The facts are hard to ignore; kids enjoy the game more, touch the puck the more, shoot more, pass more, have to react faster, and end up developing much faster than playing on a full ice surface. 

 

Based on these fundamental small area development principals, we designed the AMP Cross-Ice Program to be even more progressive than the half ice model, with smaller surfaces, smaller rosters (maximum of 9 players) and using a 3vs3 format instead of 5on5 to further accelerate player engagement and involvement.  

 

PX3 AMP program is a completely innovative and new approach to accelerated motor skill development and player safety. 

 

 

2. AMP DEVELOPMENT |

 Multi-Sport vs. Single-Sport 

​

The PX3 AMP program offers multisport training each week, exposing kids to sports like wrestling, running, soccer, basketball, baseball, rugby, handball, and ultimate frisbee.  This diversification helps a child’s body develop multiple motor skills that crossover between sports and make them better overall athletes regardless of the sport they choose to play. 

 

 

We believe that only once the mental, physical, and social aspects of a child are fully developed should sport specialization be considered.  Proper rest and exposure to different sports throughout the year is proven to build stronger, healthier, and safer athletes. 

​

Multi-sport training is a proven, intelligent and experienced way to build strong, healthy and happy athletes.

 

MULTI-SPORT = BETTER ATHLETES

In the 2017 NFL draft, 94% of the players drafted in the first round were multi-sport athletes.

MULTI-SPORT = SAFER ATHLETES  

In a study done by Ohio State, single-sport athletes were 50% more likely to get injured. 

3. AMP Culture & Quality of Life

We are building a very different culture and community in youth hockey with: 

 

SET SCHEDULES, WITH NO FUNDRAISING OR VOLUNTEERING >We believe that time is the most precious asset any of us own. PX3 AMP provides families with set schedules, set days, and set times, all at Winsport, one of the most beautiful Olympic Training Facilities in the world.  This allows families to plan their lives and have consistent routines for building healthy eating, exercise and sleeping habits. 

 

NO TRYOUTS, NO YELLING, NO DRAMA > In September we do on-ice assessments rather than tryouts and then place kids on teams to play 3vs3 games against each other.  At no time are parents allowed to scream or yell at any AMP players or coaches, keeping emotions in check is something we count on our parents to do as it is part of the championship mindset that we are trying to instill in the kids. If as a parent you cannot control your emotions during cross-ice development hockey, then this is simply the wrong program for you.

​

ADVANCED HEALTH, SAFETY & EDUCATION > As part of the program, we provide comprehensive player medical assessments at the start of each season.  Working with leading medical partners, we provide brain, blood and bone analysis along with a dental cleaning.  Each month we also provide informative seminars with resources available exclusively to PX3 AMP families.  

 

We believe that the stronger and safer our children are, the stronger and safer all of our future communities will be.
