Open to all.... A friendly and social programme designed to get people to pick up a stick, whether it is for the first time or returning after a number of years

What is Introduction to Hockey/Back to Hockey?

These Hockey sessions are coached sessions that provide a gentle introduction or reintroduction to the game.

In the sessions you will be introduced back to the game by mixing in some skills exercises with some small sided game play.

However, the emphasis is on a friendly, social and relaxed environment

Where do I find a session?

We will be running Back to Hockey Sessions from 12th January

Wednesday's from 18:00 till 19:00
Halifax Hockey Club, Park Lane Academy School, HX3 9LG

Please contact the club via the details below for more info

How do I join a session?

Ideally, just send a us a short email first so we can expect you at the session and answer any questions that you may have - backtohockey@halifaxhockeyclub.co.uk. or contact us using the "contact us" form from the homepage of this website

I haven’t played for a while...

Don’t worry if your new to the game or haven’t played for a while our Back to Hockey coach will gently guide you through this series of fun and friendly sessions. We will also take into account your level of fitness when planning and delivering each session. The activities you take part in during the session may help you improve your fitness over time.

What should I wear/bring to the session?

Comfortable sports clothing and trainers are best. We can provide a stick if required, but if you have your own stick you are more than welcome to bring it and we would recommend taking a soft drink or bottle of water as well. Shin pads and a gum shield are not essential to begin with, but bring them if you have them.

How much does it cost?

The first 6 weeks are FREE!!

Can I start playing competitively after I have attended a few sessions?

Yes, if you feel you want to play in league games or move on to general club training sessions then you can do so, please speak to the coaches at the sessions who will advise on how you can take this forward

Can i just keep attending the Back to Sessions?

Yes, you can continue to come to the back to Sessions if you
don't feel you want to play in the club training or league games

What are the basics of the game?

The coach will run through a few simple rules, however if you want a quick refresher before your next session please take a look at England Hockey's short Learn About The Game page
