NHA After School Long Term Athletic Development Program

Northern Hockey Academy is proud to offer an after-school program for young athletes to have FUN, develop proper athletic training habits, and build a life-long focus on physical well-being.   We certainly know from hockey, too often in today’s youth sports world our young athletes are specializing in a single sport, playing all 12 months of the year.  We also see our kids only having gym class 2-3 times per week in school, which we believe is not enough!  Our Long Term Athletic Development (LTAD) program will double as both a great solution for after school child care along with a constantly changing program of athletic development meant to challenge the body with age-appropriate exercises with a focus on fun!  We feel that with our focus on fun, friendly competition, and challenging yourself to go outside your comfort zone will encourage your young athlete to make their fitness well being a main focus for their entire life!

Age/Grades:

We will be accepting kids in grades SK-4.  Co-ed.

Days Per Week:

At least initially we will expect kids to commit to 5 days per week.  Exceptions will only be made if you bring us a similar alternative arrangement (example, your child would like to come 3 days per week and you have another family whose (similar aged) child would like to come the other 2 days each week).  With only 26 spots available we anticipate filling quickly.  If you would like to only attend for a few days per week we can add you to a waitlist in case we have room.

PA Days/School Holidays:

During PA Days we will be running PA Day Camps for anyone to sign up.  Camps will have a ‘multi-sport’ theme but have a primary focus on hockey (2 hours per day on ice).  Regular price for these camps is $125 per day, however members of our after school LTAD program will be able to sign up for $100.

We do run an Easter Monday Camp, March Break Camp, and Christmas Holiday Camp.  Similar pricing & special discounts for LTAD members can apply.  We typically do not run camps on statutory holidays (Thanksgiving, Good Friday, Boxing Day, etc.).

Late Pickups:

Pickups will be expected by no later than 5:30pm.  Additional fees for late pickup would be as follows:

  • 5:30 – 5:45 – $25
  • 5:45 – 6:00 – $50

Invoices will be generated monthly on your DaySmart account.   Payments can be done by cheque, cash, e-transfer, in person by debit, or online or in person by credit card.
