Lee Valley Lions Junior Ice Hockey Club

Learn to Play Courses

Children enjoy the opportunity to play an exciting sport with a whole set of new rules.

You don’t need to be an expert skater to play – some basic skating skills will get you started. Learn to Play (LTP) training is ideal for introducing children to the sport while teaching basic skills safely in a fun, non-competitive atmosphere.

How the courses work

* Each course is 8 weeks in duration & run throughout the year.

* Two session per week: Tuesdays & Fridays 7.15-8.15 pm

* We can lend you all the equipment you need to get started

* Each course costs £90 (includes equipment loan)

LTP training is made up of three stages, at each stage players build upon the previous skills and add new elements:

Stage 1 – Intro to Hockey: Stance, Starting, Stopping, Forwards & Backwards Skating, Puck Control and Passing

Stage 2 – Skill Development: Agility, Turns & Crossovers, Stickhandling and Passing

Stage 3 – Advanced Skills: Shooting, Fast Starts, Tight Puck Control, Pivots,

Further details of the Stages can be found at LTP Assessment Criteria (PDF)

Once players have completed Stage 3 they join the Teams where they play competitive matches and train as a team to improve individual and team skills.
