| Analytics and the ADM at 8U |

Q: My child is enrolled in the ADM and all the 8U players are practicing together in small areas. Is this the right thing for their development?
A: Saying that your 8U child “is enrolled in the ADM” is a common misnomer and misconception of many parents who think that USA Hockey's American Development Model is only about 8U or cross-ice hockey. In fact, the ADM is much more than that.

| FUN WITH FRIENDS |
| The number-one reason kids play sports is to have fun, and playing with friends only adds to the enjoyment. Team sports, like hockey, provide kids with the physical activity and challenges they enjoy, along with a ready-made group of new friends with which to play. |
