Learn to Play teaches kids (ages 4 and older) basic hockey skills in a fun, safe environment. Players are introduced to the fundamentals of hockey skating before progressing to stick handling, passing and shooting. Participants learn these skills through fun drills and games taught by certified USA Hockey coaches.
Each session is 45 minutes once a week for four weeks. We encourage players to participate in multiple sessions or join our In-House program that starts in November or January.
No skating experience is necessary.
