Older juniors integrate with adult training with potential to join senior teams, as well as occasional friendlies within their own age group.

Our aim is to provide fun and inclusive hockey sessions with opportunities for all to compete as part of a team. Junior players regularly progress into all levels of the adult section.

The junior coaching team are all volunteers and are DBS checked. Our Head Junior Coach is Michele Harding (email mharding67@gmail.com), supported by a great team of qualified junior coaches.

We always welcome new players of all ages and abilities, so if your child would like to give hockey a try, please get in touch.

We can supply :
• sticks and balls (see training & match kit requirements link for details of what to wear etc)
• free taster sessions for new members
• the opportunity to join a friendly Hockey Club
