UNDER 4 (AGES 2, 3, AND 4)
Our Program
Our Under 4 program is geared towards our littlest players. We’ve developed basic exercises to introduce our participants to the sport of ball hockey while keeping it fun and exciting.
Throughout the 8-12 week program our players will learn how to hold a hockey stick, proper hockey stance, basic stick handling, passing and shooting. Each session will focus on teamwork, having fun, building friendships, and gaining an understanding of basic ball hockey rules.
All sessions will consist of warm-up and stretches, basic important safety rules, hockey exercises and drills, fun games, story time, stickers and a team cheer.

age requirements
Our programs are designed to provide safe, fun, and exciting activities for all players. As our sessions are broken into multiple age groups we have tried to keep players with similar skills/abilities together. Should you feel that your child is more advanced than their age group please reach out to us at youngstarshockey@outlook.com to discuss registering them in an older age group.
Program Information:
Please arrive 5-10 minutes prior to the beginning of your session time to allow your player to be dressed and ready to go for when their session begins, as we will begin instructing promptly on the hour.
All sessions will be 50 minutes in length to allow time for participants to safely exit the playing floor prior to the next session commencing. Our young players, under 4 & 7 groups, will end at 45 minutes to allow for story time and stickers prior to their session concluding.
During the first week of each session, every player will receive a Young Stars tee, name label for their helmets and a logo sticker. A photo will be taken of each participant to be used on their personalized hockey card that they will receive during week 8 along with a participation certificate, photo with their coach for our website, and an age appropriate loot bag.
Due to the nature of this sport and the potential for accident or injury, a parent or guardian must remain on site for the duration of the session. Our coaches are unable to assist players while conducting a session, therefore someone must be available to help your child in the event that it is needed during instructional time. While staff are trained in First Aid a parent/guardian is required to provide verbal consent prior to any staff administering first aid.
Please note: Many of our participants have serious/life threatening food allergies, therefore we are asking parents to please refrain from bringing snacks into the facility.
