The first 'colts' academy session of the 19-20 season takes place on Sunday 15 September for girls and boys aged 4-16. New players welcome (trial sessions available). Please see the times and details of the lead coaches below.

The club can provide hockey sticks to borrow but all players MUST have their own gumshield (available to buy if required) and ideally shinpads. Players should bring a water bottle and wear appropriate footwear for artificial turf (ie no studs). Amber shirts, jumpers and socks are available to purchase but otherwise please wear suitable sportswear (layers are good, also hat/gloves in cold weather, sunhat in warm etc). Please label ALL kit and clothing!

Registration process is through this website (click on 'Join' in the top-right hand corner). Subs for the season (September - April) are £25 for Reception and Year 1, and £100 for all other juniors (available to purchase once logged in).

We would love to hear from any parent volunteers who can assist with coaching, umpiring, manning the desk, press communication, match teas and more. Those volunteering for Duke of Edinburgh Award's also welcome.
