Junior Hockeycamp
Improve your skills at our Junior Hockey Camp
The Junior Hockey Camps are for everyone from the age of ten to twelve, who loves to play hockey. For three whole days you will be focusing on everything that revolves around hockey. We start each day at 9AM and until 5:30PM the kids will be kept busy with amazing activities. After this they get to sleep at home/their own residency, so that they will be fully recharged for the next day!
Within Bovelander, everything revolves about HOCKEY, FUN & FRIENDS. That's why we make a well balanced program, with intense training, unique games, singing songs, good food, and of course a tournament! The kids obviously come to the camp to play hockey, but we also like to have to have some fun! Hence, why were want everyone to have fun and walk off the pitch with loads of new friends at the end of the day.
Program Junior Hockeykamp
During the camp we will be training three times a day. With every training session we want to shine light on a different technique and aspect of hockey. The kids are going to learn about scoring goals, teamplay, defense, and more! We challenge them with a tournament, training sessions and various other hockey challenges. At the end of the camp, the adrenaline filled finale of the tournament will be held. Are you going to be the winner?
