The ADM program is for boys and girls, ages 5-8, who have completed Learn-To-Play (LTP).  It is designed to prepare them for travel hockey next season.  The program is overseen by NJC head instructor, John Phillips and NJC staff.  ADM Full Season skates twice a week and Spring/Summer ADM Prep practice 1X per week.

***NJC will conduct evaluation skates the first week of Full Season ADM.  Players will continue with ADM or may be asked to register in an LTP session if they need more basic skills work.  Players who complete LTP sessions during the season may transition into ADM for a pro-rated fee.***
