More Qualified Coaches

Congratulations to Chris Page and Chris Pelmore for achieving Level One Coaching. And to Vince Holden and Saeed Malik for achieving level 2.

Calling all Parents

I would like to arrange a seminar for interested parents on the rules of hockey (especially the new rules due to come in this season). This is partly with a view to broadening your understanding of what your children are doing, but also in the hope that I might persuad a few of you to do some light umpiring! At U13/12/11, it is really not too difficult - I promise not to throw you into U18 boys matches! Could anybody interested please contact the Junior Coordinator
