Adult Hockey Lessons
Sharks Ice San Jose has programs for adult hockey players of all levels.
Adult Beginner Hockey (for true beginners) and Adult Intermediate (for those with more experience) plus Adult Learn to Skate are offered to players looking to improve their basic skills. These 1-hour sessions are offered in 6-week blocks. New classes are on an ongoing basis.
For many, our Adult Hockey Classes are taken in preparation for play in our Sharks Ice Adult Hockey League (SIAHL). Though it is not mandatory for new players to follow the entire class progression listed below, we do recommend taking all of the classes in order for the player to maximize their enjoyment in the sport.
Adult Learn to Skate
Tuesday 7:30pm-8:30pm & Saturday 9:25am-10:25am
Class will cover basic skating skills.
Adult Hockey 101
Hockey 101 is focused on integrating NEW adult hockey players into Sharks Ice Adult Hockey League (SIAHL). The program is offered twice per year to coincide with each new SIAHL Season.
Winter registration opens in November for a December start. The 15-week program ends in April with a scrimmage. Players create or join a team in May for the Summer SIAHL Season.
Summer registration opens in April with sessions starting in May. The 15-week program ends in August so that players create or join a team in September for SIAHL Fall/Winter Season.
The fifteen (15) week program introduces new players to fundamental skills such as skating, puck handling/passing, shooting. But, more importantly, we introduce player positioning, breakouts, regroups, changing on the fly etc. At the conclusion of the class, players will either form a new team or be added to an existing team roster in SIAHL Division 9.
This ONE-TIME program is designed for true novice players for instance, individuals coming out of the Adult Learn to Skate class. Players should have little to no prior hockey skills experience.
