Our Under 10 program is geared towards our elementary school players. We’ve developed exercises and drills to challenge our players while keeping it fun and exciting.

Throughout the 10 week program our players will learn how to hold a hockey stick, proper hockey stance, advanced stick handling, passing, shooting and one-timers. This session will consist of various drills including: 1 on 1, 2 on 1, 2 on 2, team relay races, advances obstacle courses. Players will complete a series of endurance and conditioning training each week. Players will complete an exhibition game towards the end of each session.
