THIS WEEKEND: Wilmington Youth Hockey To Host 9-Week ‘Learn To Skate’ Program Starting October 20

Below is information from Wilmington Youth Hockey:

WILMINGTON, MA — The Wilmington Youth Hockey Association is offering its Learn to Skate Program this fall at Ristuccia Arena (190 Main Street).

The Wilmington Youth Hockey Learn-to-Skate is an introductory class for skaters with no prior skating experience or with limited experience requiring the use of a skating aid to build confidence while learning the basic skills of skating. This program will help children develop the ABCs of movement – Agility, Balance, Coordination and speed, which is essential for developing fundamental movement skills and physical literacy.

Upon successful completion of the Learn-to-Skate program, participants will be ready for the Wilmington Youth Hockey Learn to Play program, if they desire. All classes will be well-structured with the focus on proper skill development and taught in a safe and positive environment, incorporating fun.

All participants are required to register with USA Hockey, prior to participating in our program. The USA Hockey cost is not associated with WYH, but covers player insurance while on the ice. To register with USA Hockey please go online to www.usahockeyregistration.com.

This program will run for 9 consecutive Sunday afternoons (1:30pm to 2:30pm) from October 20, 2024 through December 15, 2024.

The program’s cost is $205, which must be paid in full prior to the students participating in the program.

Required equipment includes proper fitting skates; helmet with a cage; and loose, layered athletic wear. Snow pants and gloves are recommended.
