How do lessons work?
All lessons are tailored to the individual player, so no two lessons are the same. Our coaches will do an assessment at the beginning of each lesson. From that assessment, they can tailor the hour to fit the player’s needs. We check our schedule every day to make sure that players are not completely mismatched (we would never want to put a brand new 8 year old out there with a college player)! We ask that parents be flexible when we need to move players or coaches around. It is always for the benefit of the player.
Which instructor should I pick?
That all depends on what you are looking for and what level player you have, alongside your budget. All of our instructors can teach any level athlete, but let’s face it; some instructors really connect with the younger kids while other instructors mesh better with the higher level, older players. We suggest trying out different instructors to see which one is a good fit for your athlete. While all of our team teaches the same skills, each coach has a different style of teaching or coaching. Head over to our instructors’ bios to get a little more information about them, including the price of their lessons per hour. If you still aren’t sure which coach you should sign up with, feel free to give us a call. We can help match you up with an instructor we think would work best.
How do I pay?
You should have added a credit card to your player’s account when creating it. If you created the account through the Mindbody app, you will still need to log in through a web browser to add the card. For security reasons, the card information does not transfer over. Lessons will be charged to your card after the lesson has taken place. If you have credits on your account, the cost of the lesson will be deducted. All clients will receive 50% off their first lesson.
For information on each coach’s pricing, check out our Coaches page.
Do I need to purchase a package to do lessons?
You do not need to purchase a package in order to do lessons. You can pay as you go!
Pricing
Our lessons range from $105 to $150, depending on your coach. Prices can be found in each coach’s bio. All lessons are one hour and designed for your player’s needs. Three-vs.-three and Skills sessions are $50 per player. View our full pricing list here.
Where are lessons held?
We offer lessons at two (2) facilities in the DC metro area. Our Laurel Ice Den offers both forward/defense lessons and goalie lessons year round, 7 days a week. The Rockville Ice Den only offers goalie lessons and is seasonal, coming down in the summer months of June-August.
What do I/my player need to bring?
Every player will need their own full set of gear, and we always recommend water or a sports drink to stay hydrated. For a full list of gear check out this page. If you do not have a full set of gear, please contact us to see about borrowing what you need.
How do I make an account?
Click here to create an account in your web browser. Please ensure you are making the account in the player’s name and that you add your payment method upon creation. We do not recommend using the Mindbody app or creating a family account. Only the person taking lessons needs to have an account.
Intro Offer and Credit Packages
New players have the option to purchase $350 of ice time for $300. This offer is available one time only. All players also have the option to purchase $1,000 of ice time for $900. Offers are good for any Wolfe Hockey services. Credit is good for one year from the date of purchase.
Cancellations and Refunds
We have a 24 hour cancellation policy. If you do not cancel your lesson outside of that 24-hour period, you will be charged full price. Emergencies and illnesses are the exception, but you need to contact us ASAP to let us know. See below for details on sick cancellations:
If your player is sick and you notify us at least 3 hours before the lesson, you will not be charged. If you notify us less than 3 hours before due to illness, you will be charged 50% of the lesson cost.
If you do not notify us at all or cancel after the lesson time, you will be charged 100%, regardless of the reason.
Also, you must cancel lessons yourself. Emailing, texting or calling anyone on the team does not guarantee your spot is canceled, and we’d hate to miss your message!
We do not offer refunds, but we are happy to apply credit to your account for future use. Credit packages are good for one year from the date of purchase, and can be shared between family members.
