2025-2026 WMASS HKY INDOOR PROGRAM

@Boyden Gymnasium, UMASS (Amherst, MA)

**Due to NCAA rules, all WMASS HKY club players must reside within a 50-mile “as the crow flies” radius
of the University of Massachusetts or WMASS HKY must be the closest available training opportunity
for the athlete should they reside outside the 50-mile radius.

Sunday Training Sessions
December 7, 14
January 4, 11, 18. 25
February 1, 8, 15, 22
March 1, 8

*December 14th practice window may be in bubble from 5-8pm due to UMASS exams in Boyden*

Practice Window: 12-6pm
We only have 1 side of Boyden available this winter, so we will be using a wider practice window on Sundays.
Teams will practice between 1 hour (youngest) to 1 1/2 hours.
Exact times TBD as we see our age group numbers.
In general, younger age groups train earlier, older age groups train later.
NOTE: We have also reserved some Tuesday/Thursday nights during January for some extra sessions

We are working on organizing 2 playdays with other clubs during these Saturdays and Sundays at UMASS where we will be able to compete against other teams (U12-U19). We will try our best to find U10 teams to include in these playdays as well.  There are not a lot of U10 indoor teams that compete and travel. The exact dates and opportunities are still TBD (most likely February/early March). Stay tuned for more.  Those events would be included in the program fee.  All U12, U14, U16, and U19 teams are also entered in the Smith College Play Day the weekend of February 28th/March 1st (included in the fee).   If we are able to sign up and attend any other local tournaments not at UMASS, we will poll for interest and availability and there may be an added fee to attend.

U16 & U19 NIT QUALIFIER EVENTS (EXTRA)
We have 1 U16 team and 1 U19 team entered in NIT Qualifiers the weekend of January 3-4 at Game On Fitchburg.  There will be tryouts for these rosters.  We are looking at November 30th and December 6th, exact times TBD- most likely late afternoon.  We would like interested athletes to attend both dates, but at least a minimum of one.  There will be an extra fee to attend these events of $150/athlete (includes a couple of extra practices).  We have already entered and paid the fee. Please check the appropriate boxes at the end of the Indoor Program Registration Form if you are serious about attending.
