Our program is 8-week [approx. 50 mins per week] program designed with an emphasis on developing basic ball hockey skills while teaching listening, following instructions, attention, focus and various motor skills.

Our Winter programs runs from Sunday, March 09, 2025 to and including Sunday, April 27, 2025.

Sessions are broken down as follows:

Stretching / Warm-Up Routine.

Rapid demos with a Hands-on approach on holding a stick, stick handling, passing and/or shooting.

Drills to implement the skills that were worked on in the rapid stations.

15-20 Minute Game at the end of each session to apply the skills that were worked on with further instruction from coaching staff.

Team work and anti-bullying is constantly promoted throughout our program.

Ending every session with a coach’s roundup at the end of their session.

Final session will be a celebration showcase via a Mini Ball Hockey Tournament.
