The ice is calling, and the Birmingham Bulls and Pelham Hockey are ready to help the next generation of hockey stars take their first glide. The Little Toro’s Learn to Skate Program is the perfect first step for kids who have never played hockey but want to get started — no experience required!
This eight-week program focuses on building the foundational skating skills needed to progress into the Learn to Play Program and, eventually, league play. The next session runs August 14 – October 2, with classes held Thursdays from 6:45–7:45 p.m. at the Pelham Civic Complex.
Little Toro’s is split into three courses — Basic 1, Basic 2, and Basic 3 — covering essential skating skills such as two-foot glides, forward swizzles, and backward swizzles. Participants must pass each level before graduating to the Learn to Play Program. Due to the buildable nature of the program, new participants are only allowed to join until week 4 (Sept 4)
For Ages 4–17
Price: $165 for the eight-week program
Gear Package (optional): $310 for personal equipment
Price includes 8 weekly classes, skate rentals, helmet (limited supply), gloves (limited supply), and a stick. Bringing your own equipment is encouraged.
