Important information – Please read
The information below sets out the basis upon which we are able to offer summer hockey camps. Please ensure you have read the information below before signing up and follow it when attending. Compliance is essential if we are going to be able to run all of the sessions as planned.
Format of half-day summer hockey camps
To ensure we offer safe, fun, quality coaching that follows England Hockey and Government COVID-19 advice, the half-day summer camps will run for 2.5 hours with a maximum of 20 players per session. For those that have been enjoying the summer evening hockey for Juniors, the summer camps will run on a similar basis. There will be groups of 5 players with 1 dedicated coach for the whole session. Each group of 6 will play on a distinct area of the pitch and will not mix with other groups. Players will be asked to remain 2m apart from one another, not to touch equipment other than their own and not to bring kit onto the pitch (other than a water bottle).
Accessing the Club
- All summer hockey half-day camps will take place at the Old Cranleighan Club, Portsmouth Road, Thames Ditton, KT7 0HB.
- Please follow the Government guidelines on travel when making journeys to and from the club.
- You must adhere to our one-way system. Please enter the pitch compound via the usual main gate and exit via the gate closest to the containers.

- The stand and benches in the compound are out of bounds and should not be used.
- Only travel to the club if you have a confirmed summer camp booking and arrive at the time of your session, not before. If you arrive early please wait outside the compound area on the grass as you are not permitted to use the tables on or surrounding the patio area.
- A parent / guardian is required to either remain on site or be within a 10 minute drive of the club. When at the club, parents/guardians should maintain appropriate social distancing. You will not be allowed to sit in the stand or the benches so if you require seating please bring a fold-up chair. Alternatively, you can sit on the mound the other side of the pitch, whilst adhering to social distancing.
- Please do not lean on the fence surrounding the pitch.

- In the unlikely event of an injury the coaches will assess the injury from a suitable distance. We are asking all parents/guardians if not staying on site to be within 10 minutes from the club. Please ensure your contact details are up to date on LoveAdmin when registering for Summer camps as we will use these to contact you. If parents/guardians are not on site, the coach will assess the injury and call the parent/guardian to ask them to return to the club. In case of serious injury, emergency medical assistance will also be requested.
