NORTH SMITHFIELD – The Play It Forward Sport Foundation is hosting a three-day girls’ hockey clinic for players ages 11-18 and coaches to help continue the growth and development of their sport from Monday, June 26, to Wednesday, June 28, at the Rhode Island Sports Center on Route 146.
The clinic, which will meet each day from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., caters to new players looking to join the sport, as well as advanced players, especially those who are transitioning into high school.
The clinic steps outside the “skills and drills” based approach and focuses on providing players with the opportunity to build confidence on and off the ice by developing leadership and communication skills and enhancing their ability to solve problems through team building.
The staff is 100 percent female and includes former Brown University head coach Digit Murphy, and the goal of the clinic is for players to not only gain physical skill and strength, but also the mental benefits of self-awareness and support from the other players.
