Under 16s training will start on Tuesday 4th September 5.45pm-7.00pm with Albert Marcano and new club coach Mark Talbot

As this is the first session back for the majority of players the focus will be on getting back to playing hockey, fun games and drills to dust off the cobwebs! So please make sure players bring shin pads, water bottles and are ready for a good run around for week 1!

If you miss registration day or are away you can complete registration on Sunday 9th and 16th September or on Tuesday 4th and 11th September. Parents or guardians must attend to sign consent forms

One plea to parents and hopefully a suggestion to save some money! Please name all items of kit clothing, sticks, shin pads, water bottles and ideally get mouth guards named too as we gather much kit each season and even with lost property sessions fail to find the owners !
