Twin Valley Youth Hockey Association Learn To Play Program

To handle increased demand and to provide more targeted instruction for all levels, we have created a separate "Learn To Skate" program that meets a reduced number of times during the season to compliment our Learn To Play program.

USA Hockey trained instructors lead both of these programs.

Participation includes membership in USA Hockey, the governing body for amateur hockey in the United States.
