SDMHA SKILL DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2012/2013
 
This is separate and supplemental to Regular Season Hockey Registration.
 
 
SDMHA is excited to have finalized the Development Program for the 2012-2013 season. We have been able to build on the positives from last season for our skills sessions. We are also very excited to have entered into a partnership with the SDSS Hockey Academy to deliver our Elementary Hockey Program. We are excited with the diversity and calibre of our instructional staff and would encourage participants to sign up early as we are sure these sessions will fill up quickly.
 
The skill groups and power skating sessions have been structured so they alternate weeks. Example: You are a 2004 born player you would do power skating one week and skills the next week That way you can do both skill and power skating sessions if you wish. EHP has been scheduled to not interfere with any other programs.
 
All skill classes will be limited to 20 players max per session. Goalie Skills will be limited to 12 per group. 
 
These programs will be made available to persons outside of our Association after July 15, if required, in order to obtain sufficient numbers. Please note that programs will be cancelled if insufficient numbers are registered by August 1, 2012.
 
Cancellation Policy is in effect for all Skills Development programs. Information is available on our web site www.southdeltahockey.com
 
Financing Options are available ($50.00 surcharge) for these programs. If required please email sdmha@telus.net for further information.
