TODDLER WELCOME ASSESSMENT.
STAGE 1.
We recommend that young players begin their hockey journey with an introduction toddler welcome assessment. This initial assessment serves multiple purposes, including:
-
Familiarizing young players with the Nexus Development facility and coaching staff, creating a comfortable and welcoming environment.
-
Evaluating the child's current skill level, physical abilities, and potential areas for growth. (first time to professional players, everyone starts here)
-
Establishing a strong rapport between the athlete, coaches, and parents, fostering open communication and collaboration.
We have fun with this!
