Frequently Asked Questions

What do we need to take to sessions?

Depending on what clinic you are attending, you will need to bring appropriate equipment such as hockey stick, tennis racquet, as well as any relevant safety gear such as mouth guard, shin pads, etc. No safety gear = no participation. We also ask that you bring a bottle of water and recommend you bring sunscreen and a hat, or appropriate wet weather gear. You may need to bring a light snack for morning tea if you are attending a Holiday Hockey Clinic or Holiday Multi Sports Clinic that runs from 9am – 12pm.

You will find a specific list of things you need under each clinic in our website and on our flyers.

Do you supply any food and drinks for children?

We ensure that there is always drinking water available at each venue, however we do not supply food. Children should bring their own light snacks for morning tea where indicated (Holiday Hockey Clinic or Holiday Multi Sports Clinic that runs from 9am – 12pm). We do this to reduce the risk of providing unsuitable food to children who may have allergies.

Do you have an early drop-off or late pick-up option?

We are on-site 15 minutes before and after every lesson. If you are going to be late to pick up your child from a clinic, we must know as soon as possible to make arrangements. This can incur an additional cost as we will need to retain staff over that time.

Can I get a discount if I register more than one child?

We offer a 10% discount from the total price for siblings registered in the same program for: Holiday Hockey Clinics, Holiday Multi Sports Clinics, and Term Programs. Discounts are all specified under each clinic in our website and on our flyers.
