We have a thriving Junior Section, that sees boys and girls enjoy a wide range of training and competitions at local and regional tournaments. The vision for the Junior section is to be one of the best performing and largest participation clubs in Warwickshire, offering an experience that has enjoyment at the heart of everything we do. We believe that every child who joins our club deserves a great experience and that we should be professional in everything we do. As a result, we have a clear participation and performance pathway that looks to cater for junior hockey players of all levels of ability.

To deliver our Junior coaching we rely on a range of skilled and qualified coaches and volunteers as well as a dedicated Junior Committee committed to the Junior section to support a great player and parent experience.

Our Junior Chairman for the 2021/2022 season is Indy Dhillon who also acts as our Club Welfare Officer,  she is joined by Luke Garner our Head of Junior Coaching, Vero Grace and Simon Harrison (junior playing and development managers). If you would like to contact the committee please use [email protected] , if you are making a new enquiry to join, please use the enquiry function on the web site and we will reply to your query.

Please see the Club training section for details of all the training sessions for our juniors.
