JUNIOR HOCKEY

HOCKEY FEVER JUNIOR COACHING

FOR CHILDREN IN YEARS 3-8

Who with: Led by a Hockey Fever Coach/Umpire. The coach/umpire will input into the game to develop team and individual play.

Who is this suitable for: Players must be in Years 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 at school. Any level of player can attend this session but please get in touch if you’re not sure. Younger children will get the opportunity to play with children in older year groups, depending on ability, we look closely at this on a weekly basis. Younger children work on developing resilience and learn to apply different playing strategies, all the time practising passing and ball control. Older children will get the chance to develop leadership skills, work to get the best out of younger players, lead by example and practise choosing the right skills at the right time.

What will the sessions be like: We will run a warm-up for the whole group and then split players into different groups depending on ability to practice some skills before finishing the session with some game play. The coach/umpire on the pitch will ensure the players understand the Hockey Fever rules. They will support play encouraging the values of sporting behaviour, team spirit, fun and enjoyment at all times.

Where: All our Junior Hockey Fever sessions are currently running at Cheltenham College, Thirlestaine Road, Cheltenham GL53 7LD, click here for a map.

We’re also running Junior Rock Up & Play sessions on Sundays for more experienced young players. This is a new session designed to help young players transition into a more adult game. It’s suitable for players aged 11 to 14 years old. Please sign up for these sessions using the Junior Hockey Fever sessions below and we’ll allocate players into the most appropriate group on the day.
