🏒 Sign-Up Details
Flexible Sign-Up:Â Players may register for as few or as many sessions as they like, in any combination.
Discounts:Â Quantity discounts are available.
Sign-Up Form & Availability: Located at the bottom of the page. On sign up form, select March Skill Sessions, then select player age group and all available sessions will then appear. Select any/all sessions wanting to sign up for. If a session is not listed, it has been filled.
🏒 Player Eligibility
NO beginners, please. These sessions are not appropriate for beginner-level players.
A beginner is defined as a player who has not yet able to perform the basic skating skills of: stops/starts, crossovers, tight turns, backward skating, basic puck control, and basic edge work. We assume all participants can perform these fundamental skills, as all practices and sessions are designed with this in mind.
If you have any questions about age groups or eligibility, please contact Mark at mark@markzarbohockey.com.
🏒 Pricing & Discounts
1–5 sessions → $33 per session ($22/hour)
6–10 sessions → $30 per session ($20/hour, 10% discount)
11+ sessions → $28 per session ($18/hour, 15% discount)
🏒 Family Multi-Player Discount
Families signing up multiple players may combine their total sessions to reach discount tiers faster.
Example: 2 players sign up for 6 sessions each → 12 sessions total → rate = $28/session (instead of $30).
🏒 Adding Sessions Later
If additional sessions move you into a higher discount tier, the new rate will apply retroactively to all sessions.
Example: 5 sessions ($33 each = $165). Later add 5 more → 10 sessions total ($30 each = $300). The $165 already paid counts toward the total, leaving a balance of $135.
Note: Discounts will not appear on the automated confirmation email. They are applied after review, and you will receive an updated confirmation email with your adjusted total.
🏒 Session Objectives
Each March skill session (1.5 hours) will include a mix of:
-
Skating
-
Stickhandling
-
Puck control
-
Puck protection
-
Battling skills
