WELCOME TO HAMPTON IN ARDEN JUNIOR HOCKEY CLUB
Training
Our juniors train every Sunday morning on the astro pitch at the club at the following times:
- U8s & U10s: 10am-11am
- U12s & U14s: 10am – 11.30am
We train throughout the hockey season only taking a break over Christmas. If we have to cancel training for any reason, we will email you on the email address you register with on our website.
The 2024/25 season starts on Sunday 8th September. Our final session of 2024 will be 15th December with training starting up again in 2025 on 5th January. Last training session for the 24/25 season will be 6th April 2025.
It is compulsory for our juniors to wear shin pads and a gum shield while training and playing matches. Children should also bring a water bottle. Sticks can be provided if needed. Please note, studded football type boots and blades are not allowed on the astro.
Matches
Our juniors all get the opportunity to play in matches throughout the season. We enter a number of leagues and tournaments across all age groups, and aim to make sure that everyone gets to play as often as they can. We share details of fixtures by email through our website, and keep the club calendar updated as well so you can see what’s going on when.
We enter mixed teams in Warwickshire ‘Minis’ tournaments at U8, U10 and U12 where we play on small pitches with teams of 7 players or less. Our U12 and U14 boys also play in the Midlands Tier 2 Hockey Leagues and our U14 and U16 boys also enter the national cup competitions. Our girls’ section is growing, and we hope to enter leagues for girls’ teams soon.
We also run a Badgers team, which is full pitch hockey with teams made up mostly of junior players but with some adults also on the pitch to support. It’s a great way to transition from junior hockey into league hockey with adults.
Coaches and volunteers
Hampton Junior Hockey is blessed with plenty of quality coaches and volunteers. Our qualified coaches are trained in safeguarding and have gone through Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks.
We are always on the look out for more volunteers – to coach, help with managing teams, do admin or even to make teas and coffees on a match day. If you would like to lend a hand any time, please talk to any of our coaches.
Kit
We have a range of Hampton kit that can be bought online through our club shop. As part of the coaching fee for juniors, we also provide a tech t shirt for each player which can be used for training and junior matches.
Fees
The hockey section is part of Hampton-in-Arden Sports Club, and junior membership for hockey gives access to the others sports we offer here, including tennis, racket ball, cricket and squash. Please see our Junior Membership Fees page for more details.
