About
PEP Equipment Systems
The R.C.T.™ system an instructor owns determines the kind of programming they can run — from small-group skill sessions to full association-scale, multi-team development.
R.C.T.™ Entry-Level Development System
The minimum configuration required to properly run R.C.T.™ circuits — a single-station environment built for small-group training, private skill sessions, and structured entry into the R.C.T.™ system without requiring on-ice certification.
Training Capacity
- 3–6 players per session
- Single-station R.C.T.™ circuit using 4 PEP R.C.T.™ Large Trainers
- 12 PEP Sticks included
Programming Capability
- Small group and private skill sessions
- Off-travel coaching for coaches unable to attend on-ice certification
- Parent-led player development between team practices
- Organizational pilot programs before full system rollout
- Virtual Level 1 Certification included (structured content, video breakdowns, immediate implementation guidance)
The entry point into the R.C.T.™ system — designed as a progressive starting point, not a dead end.
R.C.T.™ Training Capabilities
- Introduction to Reactive Countering™
- Evasive skating with puck movement under live cues
- Puck placement awareness (offensive & defensive)
- Foundational stick lane recognition
R.C.T.™ Speed & Movement (McDavid Skills Curriculum)
- Builds early control, timing, and coordination
- Introduces reactive skating with continuous movement
- Speed development through edge control and awareness
- Hands and feet working together under light pressure
Training Efficiency
- High individual rep count in a compact footprint
- Simple setup ideal for private and small-group environments
- Controlled work-to-rest ratios for focused skill development
System Progression
The Starter 4-Pak investment carries forward toward future system upgrades. A one-time Level 2 on-ice certification unlocks full on-ice R.C.T.™ systems, 6-station circuit certifications, and advanced youth, elite, and pro modules.
R.C.T.™ Small Group Development System
Introductory R.C.T.™ environments designed for controlled, small-area training and early-stage programming.
Training Capacity
- 12–24 players in full-ice R.C.T.™ sessions
