What People Say About the Be Ready Hockey Program...

"Not only did Sam make the A team, but he was a pivotal player on his football team this year. The hours he spent with you paid off in so many ways! The boys are already asking to work with you during the season if their schedules allow for it. You are doing great things - keep it up!"

"Aiden made the Peewee A team, and he's ecstatic. He said he did it because of your training. So thank you for working with him so much!"

"He busted his butt. He isn't one of the top-tier kids and he knows it but he loves to play and works at getting better every day."

"Hi- I wanted to reach out and thank you! Brock will be sending a card.  Brock worked hard this summer with you and aside from the hockey skills, I believe you helped him believe he could elevate himself and he did! For the first time, Brock made the B team. He is excited and knows he has to continue to work hard. This is a big deal for him and his personal goals and we know you had a hand in helping him grow! 
Thank you!!"

"He’s made the peewee A. I was actually going to be reaching out to you! 2 of the evaluators made a comment to us about how good Finn looked and how much faster. We give all that credit to working with you this summer!"

FAQ's

I have a conflict this week, can I switch groups just this one week?

No, these sessions are broken up by age. Not only will it not help the development of the child that is moving groups if we move a bantam into a group of mites there is the possibility of injury.

My child can't make all the sessions, can I pay for just the ones that I'm able to?

Within reason... If you let Fox Valley Hockey Training know 3 WEEKS in advance or BEFORE signing up we're willing to work things out. We can't facilitate the scenario where someone forgets or hits traffic and then is looking for a discount.

Do you offer any discounts?

Yes, we offer an early registration fee which can be found under the "Program Overview" earlier on this page.

Can I be refunded for the sessions my child misses?

No, Fox Valley Hockey Training pays a fee to our rink partners based on how many athletes are SUPPOSED to be on the ice.

I didn't realize how many conflicts in the schedule I would have before signing up, can I move my registration to a different service of yours (ie. private shooting lessons, strength training, etc.)

No, Fox Valley Hockey Training pays a fee to our rink partners based on how many athletes are SUPPOSED to be on the ice. As soon as your registration is received the money is allocated to various means and cannot be recouped by Fox Valley Hockey Training to give back to you. Please check your calendar before signing up.
