Hockey truly is a sport for anyone. It is played by men and women, boys and girls from the age of five through to people in their 80s. There are programs, variations and levels of competition for every age and ability.
Hookin2Hockey - Schools has been developed to give children aged 5 - 12 a fun environment in which to learn the game of hockey and perfect the skills in a modified game-based program.
“[Hookin2Hockey] was a great opportunity for the teachers to step back and see how the students behaved and worked with each other one on one while the instructors took the sessions”
East Preston Islamic College’s PE and Health Coordinator, Erin Wyatt
