NEWBRIDGE ARENA IN BELLMORE – 6:15 TO 7:15PM
ELIGIBLE AGES ARE: 4 to 7 years of age (’03, ’04, ’05 and ’06 BIRTH YEARS)
HOCKEY EXPERIENCE IS NOT REQUIRED. HOWEVER, PARTICIPANTS MUST BE ABLE TO STAND UP AND MOVE FORWARD ON THEIR SKATES. EXPERIENCED MINI-MITE AGE HOCKEY PLAYERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO ENROLL.
ALL PARTICIPANTS WILL BE EVALUATED BY OUR COACHING STAFF ON THEIR SKATING ABILITY IN OUR FIRST TWO CLINICS AND THEN BE PLACED IN APPROPRIATE GROUPINGS.
OUR PROGRAM’S PHILOSOPHY FOLLOWS THE AMERICAN DEVELOPMENT MODEL (ADM) OF USA HOCKEY AND EMPHASIZES SKATING AND SKILL DEVELOPMENT IN A FUN ATMOSPHERE From Joe Doyle – ADM Regional Manager for the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Districts and former Division I head hockey coach at Brown University: Coaches and parents need to “embrace the chaos” that comes with players this age “skating, shooting and handling pucks at the same time. If kids bump into each other, all the better as they will have been introduced to the concept of ‘awareness’ and ‘heads up hockey’ without even knowing it”.
THIS IS A FREE PROGAM AND WILL CONSIST OF 2 SEMESTERS
