Coaching Partners

Our Coaching Partners

You don’t need a coach to use Charlotte Hockey Lab. The Lab is open for individual use, station rentals, and practice on your own, whether you’re working on your game or just shooting around with friends.

Private Lessons & Small Groups

Train With A Coach

That said, we also work with trusted coaching partners who use the Lab to provide personalized instruction, private lessons, and small group training sessions.

If you’re interested in working with a coach, you can view their class times on our schedule or connect directly with them.
