Pre-season: Individual players will be contacted regarding preseason training for the higher teams later in the summer.
In the event training is cancelled, usually as a result of bad weather, we will do our best to contact those players affected with as much notice as possible. It's always worth a quick check of twitter, Teamo & email before setting out for training when the temperatures drop!
All training takes place at Wilberforce Road Sports Ground.

At the moment the plan is that training will look broadly like it did last year (see below as indicative). HOWEVER.
Important Additional Information
The club has just had confirmed (post AGM unfortunately), the offer of access to regular indoor training facilities throughout the season. We are currently looking at how this offer might integrate into our existing training program, or run as a separate indoor program, and the cost implications as indoor hall hire is more expensive. If there is any change to costs or training times we will aim to consult with members as soon as possible.

*U14s - Please check your Wednesday sessions weekly on Teamo - there may be some dates that the pitch is not available as the University have home BUCS fixtures on some Wednesdays in their term time.
The artificial surfaces used for hockey 'freeze' as temperatures approach zero and the pitches become unsafe. This means that, over the winter months, cold weather may mean we have to cancel training and fixtures.
We will do our best to contact those players affected with as much notice as possible.
🥶Please check Teamo,club social media, & email before setting out for training when the weather is cold!🥶
Sunday morning training & Fixtures
We will look at the forecast, and make a decision about the 9.15 to 10.15 session the evening before to give parents and players plenty of notice.
There will then be a pitch inspection on Sunday morning to decide if later sessions can go ahead. The situation is quite dynamic as the pitches thaw, so bear with us on these occasions. We will keep you updated!
Wednesday Evenings
We will look at the forecast on Wednesday morning and make a decision then to give parents and players plenty of notice with respect to travel and school pick up planning.
We will do our best to get back to you as soon as possible.
