Ages

Players usually start in our Learn to Play program between the ages of 3-10, but it is never to late to start learning! After that, the progression is based on skill level rather than ages.

When

Our Learn to Play program is usually held in September, and then our Skill Development programs begin in October and run through mid-February.

For the 2024-25 season, Level 1 will start on Saturday, September 28th. Level 2 & 3 will start on Monday, September 30th.

Extra Costs

For those that are starting out, equipment can be rented for the season for $50. This allows your child to start playing at a low cost before committing to purchasing all the equipment.
