At the 10U level, girls and boys transition to full ice games and situations. 10Us represent the ideal period of accelerated learning and transfer of key skills and concepts from practices to games. The 10U level emphasizes skating, puck handling as well as team interaction and team building. The balance of practices and games will promote the continued development and mastery of key hockey skills and the love of the game.
The 12U players are still in that ideal period of accelerated learning and utilization of skills and concepts. 12U "PeeWees" will continue to enhance key hockey skills and decision making, as coaches begin to emphasize the development of situational individual and group tactics.
