In-Season Training for the new, 2023-24 hockey season, begins this week

We’ve been running pre-season training during the summer months but, with the league season now only a couple of weeks away, the club moves into standard training. This will continue for the rest of the year.

Please note that anyone attending training needs to be registered as a club member for the new season, prior to their first session.

Starting from the week commencing Monday, September the 4th, the following sessions will

Monday

• 6:30 to 8:00pm Mens 5th & 6th XIs

Tuesday

• 6:30 to 8:00pm Ladies 1st & 2nd XI
• 8:00 to 9:30pm Mens 1st & 2nd XI

Wednesday

• 6:15 to 7:45pm Academy Under 14s (Years 7 to 9)*
• 7:45 to 9:15pm Academy Under 16s/18s

* Year 7 sees a lot of transition for young people. There is no pressure to attend a particular session or indeed both. The Academy session will introduce them to larger pitch sizes and stretch them technically and physically while the Saturday sessions will still allow them to train and play with their U12 team mates.

We will let parents decide what is best. If you have any questions, please speak to one of the coaches.

Thursday

• 6:30 to 8:00pm Ladies 3rd, 4th & 5th XI
• 8:00 to 9:30pm Mens 3rd & 4th XI

Saturday

• 9:30 to 11am Juniors: Under 6s & Under 8s (Reception to Year 3)
• 10:00 to 11:30am Juniors: Under 10s & Under 12s (Year 4 to Year 7)

Please note that Saturday training times are different to last year.

For junior players playing in adult teams who also train at Wednesday Academy, for the first six weeks of the season this will remain flexible while things sort themselves out. You can choose to attend either or both, for the early part of the new hockey year.ainin
