Session content and information :

Players attending this session don’t need any previous hockey experience or knowledge of the game. This will be provided through group discussion, structured drills and match situations. During these sessions the Get-inline coaches will teach the basics of skating, passing, shooting, puck handling, game situation and fitness, in a fun and friendly environment.

The next step.........

Once players have achieved the basics they have the option to take part in our enjoyable and rewarding hockey ‘Grades’ (1, 2 and 3). Players taking this route can be coached to club level and become involved playing competitively.

Inline Hockey Grades 1, 2 and 3 

Three progressive grading assessments (beginner to advanced) have been designed to evaluate and recognise player’s abilities. Certificates and medals are awarded on successful completion of each level. These comprehensive courses also promote fitness, social skills and the importance of teamwork.

Grade 1 (beginner)

This course is designed to get the complete beginner started in the skater hockey game. We encourage everybody with an interest to give this a go, as its extremely enjoyable and rewarding.

Course material and syllabus booklet £30.00

Grade 2 (intermediate)

Grade 2 looks at the basics of the game .The main emphasis in this grade is learning about the importance of timing and awareness. An extensive range of techniques in skating, passing, shooting, checking and puck handling are also taught. We also help players improve on the core skills learnt in Grade 1. More realistic match situations are created and players experience the game at a much higher tempo.

Grade 3 (advanced)

Grade 3 takes a much more detailed look at the game. Players are coached in power play, short handed and penalty kill tactics at competitive standards that replicates league level hockey.
