What are my next options after completing Learn to Play Program?

There are two options for those moving on from Learn to Play. 

• Mite Instructional
• 8U (Mite)Travel  

      Mite Instructional is a 3 on 3 cross-ice format that plays games once a week on Saturdays (in Newburyport, MA). You will also have a skill practice every Tuesday and team practice every Sunday AM.  This is a great option to gauge your young players interests in the game.  The cost for the 2025-26 season is $900.   

      If you are interested in playing in a more advanced level, at the age 8 and under, you can sign up for the 8U Travel team. There is greater commitment required in this program. You will have an additional practice hour each week and play in a 4 of 4 half ice format typically played in Methuen. The cost for the 2025-2026 program is $1,600.
