LEARN TO PLAY ICE HOCKEY
We are working to resume Learn to Play in 2022, unfortunately the programme is currently paused.
Normally Learn to Play runs every Thursday evening from 6.25pm to 7.40pm during school terms.
The Learn to Play Programme is run in association with the Oxford Junior Stars. The programme provides a thorough and structured introduction to the sport of ice hockey with the hope that aspiring hockey players will achieve all 10 levels of the programme.
​
The programme has been designed with the first 7 levels concentrating on the skating skills of a new hockey player. Skating is the most important skill required by any hockey player in order to properly enjoy and progress within the sport. The final 3 levels consist of puck control, passing and finally shooting in order to give each player a solid understanding of all the physical skills necessary to play ice hockey.
​
Players come into the sport of ice hockey at various ages, developmental ages and ability levels. With this in mind, players are grouped into manageable numbers in order to maximise space and to effectively use our coaching resources on the ice.
The Oxford Junior Stars welcome Ice Locker as the sponsor of our new Learn to Play programme
​
Players will progress through the stages of the course at different rates as each technical skill must be achieved before a player is allowed to pass to the next level. By structuring the programme it is our goal to challenge each player individually and raise the basic skill level of all players.
We hope you enjoy the prospect of developing your hockey skills with us and becoming the best player you can be. Ice Hockey is an exciting team sport and we look forward to working together with you to share our passion for the greatest game on earth.
