Learn to Play Inline
Is your child interested in playing but unsure if ice hockey is the right fit? Try inline hockey! It's a safer and more affordable option and giving it a try is super easy!
The Learn to Play Inline program is an opportunity for youth ages 5-10 to try something new and learn inline hockey. Participants will receive everything they need to start their inline hockey journey including six (6) classes of age-appropriate instruction, coaching from Caps Youth Hockey staff and current inline hockey coaches, and a FREE set of protective gear (helmet, elbow pads, gloves, shin pads). Participants will borrow a pair of inline skates to use during their classes and have the option to return them after the session or purchase for a discounted price.
Hosted in collaboration with inline clubs who are members of the Capitals Inline Hockey League, you'll have a guaranteed next step opportunity to play!
