2023 Dev Squad
 
The Dev Squad is a great way to start out – essentially we kick off a cohort of kids who are just starting out, to practice together and learn the fundamentals. They don’t need to be particularly good to start with – just keen 😊.
 
Inline Hockey doesn’t have games every week – they do mini-tournaments every few weeks instead. However the Dev Squad focuses on skills development, then moving to the full teams later. They will get opportunities to play this year though!

​

Who is it for?
 

Kids from 5 to 15 are welcome at Dev Squad!

 
Training
 

There are 2 training sessions a week, a main session on Thursdays at Kilbirnie and an informal "get on your skates" session on Sundays.

​

• Thursdays, 5:30-6:30, Kilbirnie Recreation Centre
  This is the main Dev Squad session, fully coached and in conjunction with the Capital Penguins club. If you can only attend one session, this is the one to attend.

​

• Sundays 3.00pm-4.00pm, Maungaraki Hall, Lower Hutt (optional)
  We do the extra "on your skates" session in Maungaraki, Lower Hutt on Sunday to help them come up to speed a bit quicker – before the free-skate Rollers session on Sundays (so they can stay from 3pm to 5pm if they want). It’s optional, but is a great session to come to – we’d recommend they come to both!

 
Cost 
 

The cost is $50 per term to cover costs – it’ll be invoiced from the club in due course. Note there are no club membership dues for the Dev Squad and we'll provide loaner gear!

​

You can also try the first 3 sessions without cost or commitment.
