AJH 8U MITES
For seven and eight-year-old players (2018-2019), AJH offers a comprehensive 8U Mites program running unofficially from mid-September and officially from October through the end of February. Practices are twice per week, led by AJH Executive Director Harlan Pratt (and top-qualified coaches). The objective of the 8U Mite program is to develop on-ice balance, coordination, agility, and speed. Lessons are varied and exciting; the overriding goal is that all participants leave the ice with a smile, emphasizing the foundation of skating, speed, power, and endurance. AJH plans to use activity-based, small-area, and cross-ice games. Introducing players to controlled competition during several Jamboree-style games run throughout the season (minimal travel for these events). During Jamborees, Aspen 8U players (8U Mites and 8U Girls) compete against other mountain programs in cross-ice games.
