Blues Evaluations

For 2025-26 Season

All Geneseo Livingston Blues Teams 8U thru 18U

Players with no or very little skating experience should NOT register for a Team Evaluation. When the Beginner/Learn to Skate and IP/Learn to Play registrations open in late April/early May, you should register your child for the Fall Beginner or IP programs which start in early October.

See below for the dates, times and location for your age group. Each age group listed below has birthyears associated with them so parents know which age group ice sessions their child should go to. Players MUST attend the Evaluation for their age group. Players who show up for another age group will be asked to leave and not permitted to skate.

Registration (FREE!) will open for 8u,10U & 12U on 2/11 (CLOSED). 14U & 18U (CLOSED).

Please try to attend both Evaluation dates but we recognize that players may have conflicts and request your child attends at least one date. If your child can not attend either date, please register so we know your child will be registering for a Blues Team next season. This helps with our planning process this summer. We want to make this process as stress free for parents and players as possible. For this reason there will be NO charge for Evaluations! The Blues strive to place every child fairly who registers by 8/1. If we have more than one team at your level and your child missed Evals this spring, coaches will evaluate them during the first ice sessions in September. Please note we use evaluations from your child's coach this season, the evaluation data this spring and (if needed) notes taken by the Coaches at the first ice sessions next September for placement.

Registration for the 2025-26 season will begin in late April or early May. Payment plans will be available. We ask that all players on Teams register by 8/1. Registrations after 8/1 will be on a space available basis only. We are working on several payment plans which will incentivise parents to sign their child up early (before 6/1) which helps our planning process instead of rushing to find more coaches in September.

No team assignments will be announced this spring. We consider the Evaluation process to give us preliminary information on numbers and skill level. The 1st ice sessions after Registration completes will also give us additional information for Team Formation. Head Coaches for each Level will be announced before Evaluations as Coaching applications are being submitted now. If numbers allow, we may add more Head Coach announcements after Evals.
