In partnership with Leicester Grammar School, Leicester Hockey Club (Men) plan to run a 10 week Summer Term Project, beginning on April 21, which has two aims:
- to provide opportunities for boys (years 9-13 of a suitable standard) from Leicester Grammar School to play matches
- to provide opportunities for the Leicester Hockey Club members to play hockey and begin preparing the 5 Club teams for next season
Participants are invited to book with Neil Murray by email at:
murrayn@leicestergrammar.org.uk
Every Tuesday and Thursday the outdoor and indoor matches will begin at 7 (warm-up starts at 6.30). Matches will take place on the water-based pitch or in the sports hall. The new additions to the rules of hockey will apply. Each evening at least 22 players can be allocated to the outdoor matches and 18 to the indoor.
The cost per match is £5 for adults and £3 for students payable on the day. There is no charge for Leicester Grammar students although they must be of a sufficient standard to be deemed safe playing men’s hockey.
Additional coaching is available to Summer Term Project participants on Sunday mornings from 10-12 for those who wish to further improve their skills at no extra cost.
Coaching specifically for boys of school years 6-8 is available on the water-based pitch after school on a Tues from 4-5.
Leicester Hockey Club (Men) have a formal agreement with Leicester Grammar School. We have some of the best hockey facilities in the UK with the Pavilion changing rooms and catering, water-based pitch, sand-based pitch and indoor sports-hall. A ClubsFirst accredited structure supports the five senior teams, the vets and the extensive junior provision.
Leicester Hockey Club welcomes new members. This initiative will be followed by regular coaching and matches throughout the summer.
