Adult Ball Hockey

Arlington County offers adult coed ball hockey leagues year-round at the Arlington Mill Community Center. There is an A league (more competitive) and a B league (less competitive).  Both A and B leagues play on Sunday afternoon/evening.  A second A league will play on Monday evenings and a second B league will play on Tuesday evenings in the spring and fall seasons.  Smaller Winter leagues will play only on Monday evenings with no Sundays or Tuesdays from December to March.  Ball hockey is similar to ice hockey but is played in sneakers in a gym. Novices are welcome.
