Whether you’re young or more mature hockey, is a fun sport with a good sociable atmosphere. So if your new to hockey then don’t worry, why not contact us to find out about our junior / senior training sessions or look out for our junior taster / back to hockey sessions (details on the site when available) to see if hockey is for you.
See the Equipment and Rules of Hockey sections below for more information.
Equipment
You don’t need a lot of kit though, however some of the below is recommended to get you started:
- Mouth guard (Essential for under 18’s, recommended for senior players)
- Shin-pads (Essential for under 18’s, recommended for senior players)
- Trainers / Astro-turf trainers (though not football shoes with cleats as these damage the pitch)
- Hockey Stick (we can provide this for juniors and on request for senior players)
- Fun and learning attitude
