The "K & Pre-K" Hockey Program
The Municipal Athletic Complex is once again proud to offer our "K & Pre-K Hockey" program, with professional skating instuctor Dianah Klatt.

The K & Pre-K Hockey program has been developed to introduce youngsters, ages 4 - 6 to the sport of hockey and the skills of skating. In a warm, friendly, yet challenging setting, Dianah has structured this program in such a way that it will focus the attention of every young skater. Even the youngest of skaters will quickly acquire the basic skating skills and begin progressing in the sport of hockey.

The School Year sessions will be constructed around one hour of Dianah's systematic and unique skating drills. The school year program has three, (6) week sessions that start in November and end in late February. Each session is one hour in length. The school day sessions run from 12:00-1:00 pm with a possible extra session added for overflow from 1:00-2:00 pm.

The Summer program runs for two weeks skating a total of 10 times. There are two groups available. The first group (Beginning Skaters) is for kids new to K and Pre K and runs from 12:45 am - 1:45 pm, Monday-Friday. The second group (Advanced Beginners) goes from 1:45-2:45 p.m. Monday - Friday.

Boys and Girls 4 - 6 years of age and have an interest in skating and the sport of hockey are eligible.
