Sessions:
Minis/Junior's training will start back on the 6th of August (Sunday morning) and 10th August (Thursday evening).
Our sessions are aimed at children aged 6yrs-12 yrs old.
Are you 13yrs old? More info below.
Sessions occur Thursdays 6:30-7:30pm and are led by John, Emma, and additional support from our volunteer team. This hour has primarily focused on skills for the mini’s, but gameplay is still very much a part of this session.
Sundays run from 10am- 12pm. Here we have a much larger focus on game play and understanding, but again, there is a mixture of learning new skills in this. Sundays are led by both Bethan and John.
Once in Year 7 at senior school, players are also free to attend the lower XI club training. This is on a Thursday evening 19:30-21:30 at Campion School. These sessions allow for a smooth transition into adult hockey (13yrs+)
There are also currently Under18 skills sessions available on Sundays which focus solely on learning and improving skills. Examples of skills that have been taught over these sessions are aerials, drag flicks, elimination skills and defensive tackling.
We have a strong coaching team (made up of existing adult players) who are all at least Level 1 qualified and DBS certified. These excellent coaches are very committed to the progression and development of our young people within the club.
All of our sessions contain a mixture of game-based drills, game-play, and the learning/ practice of skills. These elements can then be put into practice at the tournaments that Havering Mini’s participate in.
If you want to come and have a go, do not worry if you don't own a stick. We can provide you with one for the session. Make sure you are wearing appropriate footwear for astro turf, shin pads and we encourage our minis to wear gum shields too.
If you have any questions, get in touch via the CONTACT US section, or feel free to come along on any where the team are training - Events Calendar will let you know if we are away at a tournament
