Shropshire Hockey Development – Whitchurch (9th, 14th & 21st June)

Shropshire Hockey will be running Development Centre sessions in Whitchurch during June.

These are for children aged 9 to 14, and offer a great opportunity for young players to experience different coaching and improve their core skills, as well as being the first step in taking part in representative county hockey for Shropshire.

These sessions are for anyone who wants more hockey and some wider experience. We have had a good number of players representing Whitchurch in the county setup over recent years, and it would be great to see this continue and grow.

All the information for signing up is in the attachment

Under 12s and Under 14s tournament vs Crewe 20-03-22

Whitchurch entertained Crewe in both Under 12’s and Under 14s games

A big thanks to everyone who managed to turn out for yesterday’s fixtures, to the parents for bringing them along and especially those who helped set up and support the games. It was a lovely afternoon, players from both clubs seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves, and there was a lot of great hockey played, which is very encouraging for the future.

Check out some photos of the day on the club Facebook page.
