With Sportball, kids don’t need ice or skates to fall in love with hockey. All they need are a few new friends and a certified Sportball coach by their side.
Using research-backed methodology, our coaches help kids build the confidence and competence they need to master the sport and have some fun along the way. Basics like stickhandling, passing, and scoring are taught through fun games and activities.
As their skills develop, so too will the games and activities. We’re here at every step of your mini-Marner’s hockey journey.
