The girls' JV hockey program has an emphasis on skill development and developing a love for the game. Practices are varied, with a focus on high energy and small games that emphasize conditioning, individual development and teamwork all together. Coach Steve Palmer has been a long-time assistant with the girls' varsity program (including during their three New England championships), and has coached cross country and track throughout his thirty-plus years at Taft. The JV team practices four times a week in both Odden and Mays rinks and plays a challenging schedule against both prep-school JV teams and club teams from around the area.
