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.

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.
