Withrow Ball Hockey Academy — Hockey

My son attended the Withrow Ball Hockey Academy in Toronto this past summer, and overall, it was a positive experience. He’s 9 and is quite active, so this full-day program was right up his alley. The coaches, especially a fantastic instructor named Jason, were genuinely engaged with the kids and helped foster their skills in a supportive environment. They even organized mini-tournaments, which he loved. On the downside, the drop-off had some long lines, making it a little chaotic at times, but once we got through, the rest of the day ran smoothly. He came home every day excited and had made a couple of friends along the way. If you have a child enthusiastic about hockey, I would recommend this camp, just plan to arrive early for drop-off!

I enrolled my 9-year-old son in the Withrow Ball Hockey Academy this summer in Toronto, and overall, it was a great experience. The staff was incredibly engaged, and it was evident that they genuinely enjoyed working with the kids. My son came home every day excited about the new skills he was developing, especially after learning how to pass and shoot more effectively. The small group sizes allowed for more personalized attention, which was a big plus. Pickup at the end of the day was smooth, but we did experience some long lines, which was a bit frustrating, especially on the first day. However, addressing this minor hiccup, the program truly fostered a love for the game in my son, and he made a few friends along the way. I would recommend this camp for active kids looking to improve their hockey skills while having fun outdoors.
