Initiation Program

 

Experience the Difference!

 

The Initiation Program is the foundation of your Hockey Structure.  The Wall  Sports Arena introduces the Initiation Program to make your youngster's first contact with hockey a safe and positive experience.  It's a structured, learn-to-play hockey program designed to introduce beginners to the game's basic skills.  It enables participants to become contributing members of a team effort; to develop self confidence; and to experience a sense of personal achievement.   These goals are achieved in an atmosphere of cooperation and fun.

The future of this sport lies within out youth.  We play an important role in helping beginning hockey players to develop responsible playing attitudes.  A well run Initiation Program will foster enjoyment of hockey to our young players and ensure the growth of hockey.

While ice hockey requires a great deal of skill, the proper instruction and attitude make the game fun and rewarding.  The Initiation Program incorporates the most current and innovative ideas available today.  The lesson plans have proven successful on every type of community setting.
