Just wanted to share this with all our members at Whitchurch(Shropshire) hockey club
Something for you all to try whilst we cannot play to keep up your fitness a 30 minute daily workout!
Joe Wicks is doing these live every morning Mon-Fri at 9.00am on You Tube but you can access them at any time when you are available.
Let us know how you get on!
This year we have been drawn in the B Division of the Senior Men’s County Championships in the Isle of Man from Friday May 8th – Sunday 10th. The others in the group are IOM, Cumbria and Northumberland.
IOM will pick up the bill for our transport to the island and the County have agreed to subsidise the squad as well.
We will be holding trials at Wrekin College in Wellington Telford starting on Tuesday April 7th at 7pm and then all Tuesdays in April, with a practice game to be arranged on Tuesday May 5th prior to traveling to the tournament. There will be a training fee of £5 per session. The cost of the week-end is still to be finalised but with the subsidy it will be reasonable.
Liam Hennessy and myself will lead the group; with Liam hoping to play as well
If anyone needs more details please contact Steve Floyd 07966 305857 or spfloyd30@gmail.com.
I look forward to seeing your players at the first training session at Wrekin College.
Many thanks
Steve Floyd

|
In case you missed it: In light of the ongoing effects of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and government advice, England Hockey took the decision to suspend its nationally run hockey activity. This includes our competition and domestic events programme, Player Pathway activity and national youth programmes until at least 15 April. We have already issued an update with regards to our AGM on 17 March. We would urge leagues, clubs, schools, Player Pathway centres and others who deliver hockey on a local level to support this approach. This decision will impact activities at differing levels and scale. We will continue to monitor the situation carefully and react as best we can during these unprecedented times. We’ll keep everyone in the hockey family as up to date as possible and look forward to hockey returning to normal when the time is right.
