BADGE PROGRAM
This program is designed to help participants learn the basic Inline Hockey skills in a rink’s development class.
It has two levels to be completed before a participant can join a club in the Inline Hockey Victoria (ILHV) competition.
A report sheet will be given to you by the ILHV evaluator to keep a record of your skill achievements. The evaluator is scheduled to visit every rink at least once per school term.
You will get the badge on the right for FREE with each level completed.
