The YMCA, in partnership with the LA Kings hockey team, is offering free Youth Ball Hockey leagues and clinics at YMCAs throughout Los Angeles County. The LA Kings Youth Ball Hockey leagues are available for youth ages 4-14, and a YMCA membership is not required to participate—this program is open to all youth in the community. Additionally, all gear, including safety equipment, hockey sticks, and balls, is provided at no extra cost. The only responsibility for parents or caregivers is to bring their child to the local YMCA for practices and games. Practices are typically one evening per week, with games and scrimmages held on Friday nights or Saturday mornings/afternoons.
Families can register online at www.ymcala.org/ballhockey or by visiting their local participating YMCA. This is a great opportunity for young people to experience the sport of hockey as we cheer on our LA Kings this season. Over 500 students registered for YMCA youth ball hockey leagues and clinics this past spring, and all received free tickets to an LA Kings hockey game at Crypto.com Arena.
The season begins October 28.
Participating YMCAs in the valley are Mid Valley YMCA (Van Nuys) and West Valley YMCA ( Reseda/West Hills/Woodland Hills)
