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.
