Learn To Play
Welcome to the Comets Learn To Play program!
The LTP program will have three 8-week sessions starting in October. We will have dedicated LTP coaches from Solid State Hockey to run the program each week. Volunteer coaches are still needed to augment the Solid State Hockey staff.
The goal of the program is to introduce your children, as young as the age of 4, to the game of ice hockey with an emphasis on safety, fun, and sportsmanship.
First time skaters are welcome. Our goal is to teach a new skater how to skate and then introduce them to the game of hockey.
For experienced skaters, we will focus on improving their skills, including sportsmanship.
During each session, your young players will advance through a set of stations. Once a station is mastered they will advance to the next station. At the end of each 8-week session the coaches will make a recommendation of continuing in LTP for another 8 week session in order to master the skills or your player will graduate. They will then be able to move to our Junior House or House League based on age.
