Youth
Kamloops Ball Hockey Association has seen tremendous growth in our youth program. We had over 200 players registered in 2025 and plan to well exceed that number in 2026.
Ball hockey is played in full size hockey rinks on the dry floor after the ice is removed.
Because of this Ball Hockey is an impeccable cross training opportunity for hockey players of all levels and can improve skills like:
- Positioning
- Eye hand coordination
- Strategy
- Cardio
Our youth program focuses on gameplay. We have 1 to 2 (depending on age) games per week. Our U10,U12,U14 and U16 floor times feature a long warmup/practice session to work on some skills and then finish with a game. These games have referees an d count towards a season standing and playoffs.
Our U8 floor times focus on fun and exercise! We will work on ball skills, shooting, passing and positioning. Each of these floor times finish up with a couple cross floor mini games. Each player will have a chance to play goalie if they want to. Each floor time will be 1 - 1.5 hours in length.
Youth ball hockey with KBHA is available for ages 5 to 15. (16+ can play in the adult co-ed recreational league with adult permission, learn more here: https://www.kamloopsballhockey.com/register/20989
