Learn & Play Program Roller Hockey Clinic

This hour-long clinic will take place on Sunday afternoons at 2 p.m. The cost of this eight-week program is $60.
Recreation Department Leagues
Our Roller Hockey Leagues are broken into ages groups. Please pay careful attention as our age groupings and dates/times have changed.
Mites Division is for 6- and 7-year-olds who have basic skating skills. Since this division is games only, if your child is new to the sports, you should register them for our learn and play clinic.

Junior Division, ages 8 through 10, will play on Friday afternoons with either a 4 p.m. or 5:30 p.m. start depending on your child’s team schedule. The cost of this program is $60.
