Weather/Cancellations
Any cancellations via weather will be communicated via email and listed on this site.
NOTE: If the courts are wet after a rainstorm that day's session will be canceled. When the courts are wet they are extremely slippery creating unsafe playing conditions.
Teams
To allow families to have a flexible schedule over the summer we will not have formalized teams. Teams will be formed in the traditional Shinny way! Teams will be chosen at random for that day. The organizers will make every attempt to ensure all games are fun, competitive and we will adjust teams as necessary to do so.
Game Format
After teams are formed for the session 2 teams will play a game on the street hockey court. Games will be made up of 2 - 30 Minute Periods and players will wear pinnies to help distinguish teams. Players not playing in a game will have a skills session held on the basketball court while they wait for their game. The skill session will consist of drills and games designed to help players improve their street hockey skills.
