Junior Hockey with Gore court is fun, friendly and an exciting way for children to take part in team sports. Not only do we work on hockey skills we ensure that life skills are built for the future. Training sessions are every Sunday morning at Westlands Secondary School in Sittingbourne with England Hockey Qualified and DBS checked Coaches. The pitch is designed in a way that parents can easily spectate from up close. We take pride in ensuring children have as much fun as possible at training and tournaments with a relaxed and welcoming environment. We cater for both boys and girls and operate mixed teams for Under 8s and then boys and girls teams for U10s, U12s, U14 and U16.
