Joining Youth Hockey...
YOUTH training is on TUESDAY EVENINGS for kids
aged 8 to 16.
Please help us by letting us know you will be coming
by contacting Matt Lovell: youth@walthamforesthc.co.uk or 07909 913121
You'll need to let us know your name, age & whether
you've played before.
Whether or not you have ever played hockey
before, come down for a Tuesday session and give it a go!
For both boys and girls, it's a great way to keep fit, have fun and
make new friends.
It's a great sport - the 3rd largest team sport in the country.
WHERE? Walthamstow Academy, Billet Road, Walthamstow, E17 5DP
WHEN? Tuesdays
from 7pm to 8pm. (2011 starts - 6th
September)
Sessions have been running since Feb 2006
- you are welcome to join at anytime during the year. It's best to
make sure that you have emailed or phoned or sent in a schools-form
to let us know you are coming.
You will need:
- Astro trainers - or trainers with very good grips
- A hockey stick! But don't worry if you don't have one - we have plenty you can borrow on the day
We also advise shin pads and a gum shield
(£3-4 from most sports shops)
Youth training is currently FREE...!! Our thanks to

Youth Awards
The club awards two main awards to youth players each season:
Most Improved Youth Player - to the player who has shown the greatest improvement this season.
Youth Player of the Season - to the player who has excelled at hockey, both in terms of ability but also in terms of effort, attitude and generally being recognised as a great member of the WF youth section.
Previous winners can be found on the main club's Roll of Honour Page
Youth players can also aspire to play for the county. Our club feeds into the Essex Hockey Association, and our players are eligible to attend Essex Trials each season and go on and represent the County.
Thanks to CHAPS: Central Heating And Plumbing Supplies for sponsoring
our youth kit for 2011-2013!
