Introduction:

Philly Hockey Club is passionate about indoor hockey and many of our coaches have coached and played at the highest levels of the indoor game. Indoor is as an ideal opportunity to develop high levels of skill, dexterity, game awareness, speed, and fitness.

We will base our indoor training programs at the clubs purpose built hockey facility, Philly Sport Center, in Newtown PA. The facility features one indoor court, lobby and mezzanine area for spectator viewing, bathrooms and office space. Our members will have year-round exclusive access to our high quality indoor hockey facility.

Travel Squads:

Teams are competitive and training is challenging. We require a high level of commitment regarding attendance, personal fitness levels, and skill training on your own. Teams will be assigned a coach, train together weekly and compete in various tournaments and leagues through the indoor season.

U12 to U19 age groups – Indoor Travel Team Try-Outs in June

U08 and U10 – Indoor Travel Team registration and placements, no Try-Outs

Private Lessons:

Individual and small group lessons will be run prior to our scheduled training sessions. Lessons are designed to develop players skills and fitness, and are recommended for players aspiring to be the best player possible.

All of our programs follow FIH rules.
