How to Participate.

Join our Free Come&Try Session either Friday 20 February (5-6pm) or Saturday 21 February (9-10am).  Please wear runners and sports gear to the Come&Try Session and bring a water bottle (with your name on it). The club will provide sticks and balls at the Come&Try Session. We like to ask you to try to be there about 10-15 minutes before the session starts so we can start on time.

The aim of the program is for children to gain a feel of hockey and have lots of fun while they are out there on the pitch. Hookin2Hockey is delivered across a number of weeks and gives your child the opportunity to learn the basic skills of hockey, develop fundamental motor skills and make friends all while beginning his/her lifelong love of hockey!

After the free come and try session register your child, online, for the 5 following weeks of the program.

Dates of  following sessions: Fridays 5-6pm 27 Feb, 6-13-20-27 March & Saturdays 9-10am 28 Feb, 7-14-21-28 March.
