At Grand Strand Youth Hockey, our mission is to grow the sport of hockey in the Myrtle Beach area by offering engaging and educational programs for young athletes. That's why we're happy to announce we will again offer an instructional class for young skaters this spring.
Our Learn to Play is designed for kids ages 4-9 with no prior hockey experience to start them off learning the fundamentals of hockey and skating at an early age.
The program will take place over eight weeks in one-hour sessions on Saturday mornings beginning in February. It is designed to be fun, inclusive, and developmental, providing a great introduction to the skills needed to play hockey in our Mites League.
For families new to the Grand Strand Youth Hockey organization, we invite you to come attend a session at no cost to "try it out" and see if your player likes it before committing for the spring program.
Full dates and details are below.
Kids ages 4-9 years old who want to learn to play hockey, but either are not old enough or don’t think they are ready to play in our Mites League. This class is for beginning skaters without any experience playing hockey and for players who participated in our Fall Learn to Play or Learn to Skate classes. Participants in this class should be able to confidently stand on their skates and shuffle or glide around the rink without the assistance of a coach or skating aid / walker.
Classes will be 1 hour per week for eight weeks. Players may drop-in to any session ($15 per session) or for best results, sign your player up for all eight weeks at a cost of $100.
Sessions will be adapted from USA Hockey Beginners Practice Plans and administered by a small group of volunteer coaches and organizers. Here’s a rough idea of what you can expect:
