The streets of East Boston are about to buzz with the sound of hockey sticks—not on ice, but on dry land—as the Boston Police Department's District A-7 rolls out its free Dryland Hockey Training Program for local youths once again. The opportunity, aimed at those between the ages of 5 and 18, focuses on key athletic skills such as strength, agility, flexibility, balance, and coordination, with the added bonus of fostering confidence when the ice isn't beneath their skates.
For young athletes, whether they're in the thick of hockey season or merely looking to stay fit during the off-season, this program opens up a chance to keep active and refine their hockey skills with the summer heat as their backdrop, it's a great way to stay active and, what's more, sharpen sportsmanship, teamwork, and the spirit of competition in a friendly environment.
The next session is set for Saturday, July 19, at the American Legion Field, located at 25 Glendon St in East Boston, and it promises to bring local youth together for an energetic start to the weekend—starting sharp at 9:00 AM. The Boston Police Department's official announcement encourages kids and teens to come and join their peers for this dynamic training session.
