Learn To Play
Learn to Play 26-27 Registration is OPEN!!
The Perfect Introduction to Hockey
The Natick Comets Learn to Play program is designed for boys and girls ages 4-10 who are new to hockey or looking to build confidence on the ice.
Through fun drills, games, and age-appropriate instruction, players develop skating skills, hockey fundamentals, teamwork, and a love for the game in a positive and supportive environment.
No hockey experience required.
Why Learn Hockey?
Hockey helps children build confidence, resilience, teamwork, and friendships while staying active and having fun.
The skills they learn on the ice often carry over into school, other sports, and everyday life.
We also have a great series of parent and coaching events and zoom sessions where we will help folks get oriented to the unique aspects of helping young kids get oriented to hockey, as well as go over how long-term athletic development in the sport of hockey works.
Please direct any question to Coach Lauren at lauren.thomson@natickcomets.com.
