NJ Stars 2010-2011 Season
Program Description & Fees

For the 2010-2011 season the NJ Stars program has incorporated a number of the ideas central to USA Hockey’s “ADM” (American Development Model) at ages Mite through Bantam. The specifics vary with age, but some of the key concepts are:

Increased practice to game ratio (2 mandatory + 1 optional practice each week at all ages)
Emphasis on fundamentals and skill development (dedicated skill development coaches and practice time devoted to teaching key game concepts)
Off-ice training at all levels (one age-specific, off-ice training session per week at all ages)
Appropriate team sizes (reduced roster size at Mite and Squirt ages)

For more information on the specific details of USA Hockey’s ADM, visit www.admkids.com.

At the Mite and Squirt ages, the NJ Stars will be increasing the availability of practice time and placing heavier emphasis on fun and small area games.

At the PeeWee and Bantam ages, an additional weekly practice has been added to teach advanced game skills and concepts.

We will continue to offer powerskating and individual skill development once a week at all levels.
