Learn to Play Hockey Program

Hockey is an amazing sport and a great way to have fun, meet new friends, learn some new skills, and be a part of a team.

Davis County Youth Hockey Association provides a Learn to Play Hockey program (LTPH) every summer. This program is designed specifically to 1) have fun and 2) help those interested in playing and those curious about playing hockey an inexpensive way to try the sport. Last year's participants included boys and girls ranging from 4-13 years old.

Our coaches are certified by USA Hockey and participants will experience several weeks of on-ice sessions including basic instruction and games. Topics will include forward and backward skating, edges, starting and stopping, stickhandling, shooting, positioning, and basic game play.

PROGRAM DETAILS

This year's program begins begin June 24th 2008 at the South Davis Recreation Center. Classes are held every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:45 - 6:45 p.m. (There will be no class on July 24th.)

Players must also have basic skating skills as this is not a learn to skate class. The cost for the entire LTPH program is $75 which includes a $25 fee for rental equipment. (Players will need only their own hockey stick.) Equipment availability and sizes are limited and are provided on a first-come, first-served basis so please register early to make sure your child is able to enjoy the coolest sport of the summer.
