SOMERS POINT LIGHTNING INSTRUCTIONAL STREET HOCKEY PROGRAM

Starts Monday, Sept 24th
Six Monday night sessions / Rain dates on Tues or Wed
Somers Point Residents - $25 / Non-Res $30 Siblings - $20

Information or to register: somerspthockey.com

This is a non-competitive instructional program designed to simply provide an introduction to hockey. Sessions are held only on Monday nights from 6 to 7:15 pm for six weeks. Having fun, giving good effort and learning the basics of a great game are the components that are stressed by the coaches. This is a great way to introduce them to organized sports - in general. Every player gets equal playing time. A typical session consists of 30 minutes of practice and 45 minutes of game play. We use clocks during games – but do not keep score. All players receive a jersey and a hockey trophy (and PIZZA!) at the completion of the program. Players need their own: helmet, shin guards, stick and gloves. For more info. on equipment and details on local discounts, go to our website and click on the EQUIPMENT tab. Come out for a fun hockey experience!

Your kid’s success or lack of success in sports does not indicate what kind of parent you are… But having an athlete that is coachable, respectful, a great teammate, mentally tough, resilient and who tries their best is a direct reflection of your parenting.

The best 6 words a parent can say after a game - "I love to watch you play"
