Session Information

Mixed session, suitable for beginners and those already playing. We’ll split players into groups based on experience.

There are two sessions for this age group. The 5:30pm session is open to all players. The 6:30pm session is open to U12 players who were in the OC Performance Academy (which ran on Friday nights) and will have been playing in the U12 Performance League teams. You are only expected to attend one session.

Goalkeepers
Please come along to your age group session.
Additional sessions
This summer, we are also introducing three new sessions, which are all exclusively game-based. Supervised by a coach, these sessions are open to anyone in that age group and will operate on a pay-as-you-go basis. Each session costs £5, which covers the cost of providing coaches to run the session. There is a limit to the number of players who can sign up for each session and will operate on a first-come first-served basis. These sessions replace the unstructured unsupervised free play sessions we ran last year.
U10 Mixed 7-a-side
Lots of mini-games running throughout the session.
U12 Mixed 11-a-side
A great opportunity to experience 11-a-side hockey before the new season starts.
U14 Mixed 7-a-side
Fun, social, fast-paced small-sided games, great for developing players’ skills.
