As the Charleston Youth Hockey Association (CYHA) continues to grow, we remain committed to providing the best tools and resources for our players and coaches. Entering our third season using the CoachThem practice planning platform, we’re proud to continue leveraging one of the most innovative coaching tools in youth hockey today.

A Smarter Way to Plan, Teach, and Develop

CoachThem (www.coachthem.com) is a digital practice planning platform designed specifically for hockey coaches. It allows our staff to create, share, and organize practices with ease, while ensuring every session on the ice is purposeful and engaging. From detailed drill diagrams to skill progressions and team-specific plans, CoachThem helps our coaches maximize every minute of valuable ice time.

Consistency Across All Levels

With CoachThem, CYHA coaches can collaborate and maintain a consistent developmental approach across all age groups — from Learn to Play to Travel. This means players are being taught the same core skills and concepts, ensuring steady growth throughout their hockey journey.

Supporting Coach Growth and Communication

One of the biggest benefits of the platform is how it supports coach development. New and experienced coaches alike have access to an entire library of drills, customizable plans, and the ability to review practices before hitting the ice. The result? Better-prepared coaches, more efficient practices, and ultimately, better learning experiences for our players.

A Shared Commitment to Development

At CYHA, our mission has always centered around long-term player development, skill-building, and fostering a love for the game. Tools like CoachThem help us deliver on that promise — keeping our program organized, our coaches connected, and our players progressing.

We’re proud to continue using CoachThem as part of our commitment to excellence in youth hockey. The future is bright for Charleston hockey, and this is just one more way we’re helping every player and coach reach their full potential.
