Registration is now open for Newton Youth Hockey’s Learn to Skate and Learn to Play programs.
Learn to Skate (LTS)
This program is intended for kids who are new to skating or need further work on skating basics. The focus is on having fun while teaching them through games and other activities. They work on getting up, balancing, pushing, gliding and stopping. The skaters are placed into groups with similar ability. There is one practice per week. NYH runs two 9 week sessions. The first session begins November 12th. Click here for the schedule and more information. Space is limited so sign up early.
Learn To Play Hockey (LTP)
This is the introduction to hockey program. Skaters are on the ice twice per week. One day per week is dedicated to skills and drills. The second day per week is used for small area games where teams will play against each other. Sticks and pucks are used. Participants need the full complement of hockey pads. The program will continue to build on skating skills, but will introduce hockey stops, cross overs, more advanced balancing, stick use and puck handling, etc. Kids are placed into the program based on their birth year. From there, they are assigned teams and will continue with those same teams for the whole season. The program will run for 18 weeks and starts November 6th. Please follow this link for more details on the Learn to Play program.
