CFA Membership

The CFA Membership program is designed to be a consistent development path from April through October. Our goal is to provide the best possible skills training for players of all ages. The advantage of the membership program is the consistency. Our staff works with players from 4 years old through the NHL. This gives us the advantage of being able to see development at a large scale. We know what players need in an offseason. The consistency allows us to give players a proper development path so they are at their best at the start of every season.  

CFA - Summer and Winter Termite/Rookie Skills

We will be offering a Termite/Rookie skills session this upcoming hockey season. Ice sessions will be at Scheels Arena. These sessions will be run by CFA coaching staff, Fargo Force coaching staff, and Fargo Force players. This is a great opportunity to keep kids moving on the ice with a puck on their stick in a fast-paced organized fashion.  

CFA - Tryout Prep

Tryout Prep Is a fall session helping to prepare the athletes for tryouts, early season. Getting them in the optimal performance state for the important start to the season. 

CFA - HNDL

HNDL (pronounced “Handle”) is our innovative on-ice training program built around custom equipment developed in-house at CFA. With decades of experience in hockey skill development, we’ve created the most effective tools, drills, and techniques to teach and challenge today’s players.

The goal of HNDL sessions is to increase puck touches, improve puck possession, and play recognition in tight spaces. Training players to maneuver the puck in small areas while skating has proven to significantly enhance decision-making and accelerate skill development. And the best part it’s fun and engaging for players of all ages and skill levels.

Each piece of on-ice equipment comes with its own set of drills, but we always adapt sessions to fit the age and skill level of each player. Just like the rest of the CFA development model, HNDL continues to evolve, with new drills and progressions added to our curriculum every day. 

Our state of the art off-ice facility will include the newest, and most advanced training equipment to develop youth hockey players. Located inside FUIC attached to Scheels Arena, this 3000 sq ft facility will have the equipment and programming to take each player's game to another level. Players of all ages will have the ability to develop their skills in a fun and engaging way.
