Gulls Learn to Play Program

Gulls Learn to Play Program

TRY HOCKEY FOR FREE at Ice Realm Carlsbad!

The San Diego Gulls Learn to Play Hockey Program offers first-time hockey players the chance to get on the rink in full hockey equipment for FREE! 

Participants will receive instruction on the basics of hockey as well as learn how to skate properly. The program is designed for participants ages 4-to-12 years old. No prior skating or hockey experience is required. Participants already comfortable skating a length of the ice who want to try hockey are encouraged to register for the Little Ducks Hockey*

What to Expect:

  1. No Experience Needed – Perfect for first-time players. Our coaches and volunteers will guide every step.
  2. Free Loaner Gear – Skates, helmets, and sticks provided. Bring your own if you prefer.
  3. Professional Instruction – Certified coaches teach skating, puck handling, and teamwork in a stress-free environment.
  4. Fun On & Off the Ice – Meet other families, ask questions, and learn about youth hockey programs.
  5. Family-Friendly Atmosphere – We’re building community, not just hockey players.
  6. Next Steps in Hockey – After the event, learn how to continue with our Learn to Play Hockey programs.
