Our Juniors
With a strong emphasis on team development and fun, the Lions Junior Development Programme is a great way for kids to learn a fun and fast-paced sport they will love!
COMPETITION - FAIRNESS - INCLUSIVENESS
The Christchurch Lions Inline Hockey Club is a young, friendly and family-oriented club that participates at all levels of the game. We welcome new players of all ages and abilities.
Our Juniors are known for playing hard but playing fair, while supporting the development of the whole team - regardless of ability or experience.
All Ages and Abilities
The Lions Junior Development Programme is for kids of all ages - from around 5 year olds and up.
As they develop, we look for opportunities to plan and compete both locally and nationally - including regular annual tournaments in Nelson and elsewhere.
Participation And Competition
Younger grades have a strong focus on participation, however as kids develop their skills, more competitive options become available.
Lions players are often selected for Regional Representation teams and have enjoyed success at a National level.
Team Development
With some of New Zealand's best coaches and a strong focus on positive coaching and inclusiveness, the Christchurch Lions juniors play hard and have a great time together - both on and off the rink.
Lions
Dev Squad
We run a "learn to skate/play" Development Squad for juniors in Term 3 and 4 of each year.
This is a great way for those new to the sport to learn, in a cohort with other kids trying it out as well. Most go on to play with the Lions the following year.
Give Inline Hockey a go!
Come along and give it a go!
The Lions provide a fun, safe and welcoming environment for anyone keen to give Inline Hockey a go.
You can come along to three sessions without cost or commitment to see if it's for you. Then we have lots of options including training sessions, a Development Squad and more.
