VBHA TYKES
NEW TO
VALLEY BALL HOCKEY FOR 2008
- TYKES DIVISION
Players born 2002 & 2003 are eligible to play
We are very excited and pleased to introduce to our league
this year, the TYKES Division. Over the last couple of years the
Executive, Coaches and parents have recognized that the original three
year Peanut Division was too much for first time ball hockey players
(usually the youngest of the three years). So we have decided to make our
PEANUT Division, a two year age group and have added the TYKES Division as
a foundation and introduction into the game of ball hockey.
The Tykes
Division will be scheduled to play once a week (most likely a Saturday
morning) for 10 weeks. Each one hour slot consists of practice, teaching &
drills for the first half hour and then the players will play a half
floor, 4 on4 game. We will make ever effort to keep the teams to 12
players, so the 4 on 4 game will consist of three lines which means more
floor time for each player!
This will be a great introduction to ball hockey in preparing the kids for
the Peanut division, which plays a full size arena. The youngest of the
Tykes will spend 2 years in this division before moving up to the Peanut
level. Each player will receive an association t-shirt to keep,
individual and team photo, and be presented with a medal at the Wind-Up
Ceremony at the end of the season.
All players must wear the mandatory equipment listed on the website. This
is an intro program for youths. Players will not be moved into the Peanut
division, until completing the second year of this level.
Please check the
Registration page for
rates and registration details. We look forward to introducing your son
or daughter to the FUN sport of Ball Hockey.
