Junior Training

Leagues

Haslemere Hockey Club (HHC) enters teams in Hampshire Hockey leagues and national competitions where appropriate.

We run junior teams up to U16 boys and U16 girls. League fixtures take place on Sundays with at least six fixtures a season for each squad, half of which are away within Hampshire. Home matches take place at Woolmer Hill Sports Ground and occasionally at Bohunt School.

Coaching & Management

Young people are coached by many different levels of coaches including players from senior sides, external coaches and our older juniors. Many of our coaches are qualified or undergoing training and keep abreast of coaching practices through attendance on England Hockey’s workshops.

Our Junior Organisation comprises a number of coaches, squad managers, umpires and administrators, many of whom are volunteers. All club officials and volunteers working with young people are screened and trained for their suitability to do so, in adherence with England Hockey guidelines.
