Introduction:
Philly Hockey Club is passionate about indoor hockey and many of our coaches have coached and played at the highest level 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 Philly Sport Center, Newtown PA, the clubs new facility. The facility boast one indoor court, lobby and mezzanine area for spectator viewing, bathrooms and office space. Our members will have year-round exclusive access to a brand-new, high quality indoor hockey facility.
We will run:
Travel team programs

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 through the indoor season.
