ADULT:This takes place at Sandy Upper School Astro Pitch on Tuesdays from 8-9.30pm and is free to all SSHC members (for directions see our website). The Men and Ladies train separately but often get together in the bar afterwards for a chat and a drink. Training covers all abilities and is designed to assist captains in making their selections and also players improving their skills and fitness. We train whatever the weather. If you play in a senior team you will be invited to senior training. For more details please contact our Membership Secretary Tim Cakebread tjuk24@hotmail.com

JUNIORS: There is dedicated training with qualified CRB checked coaches on Tuesdays from 7-8pm at Sandy Upper School Astro Pitch. The youngsters are welcome from about 7-8 years old and we split the group according to age/ability. Generally the children progress to the older group when they are about 11-12 years of age. We have spare sticks if you don’t have one. We charge termly (approx £1.50 per training session).

Our younger juniors train together on Tuesdays from 7-8pm. The group splits again into younger and older players so that all levels are catered for. The U12s often use QUICK STICKS equipment to encourage confidence and also continue the hockey many of them do in school.

The 12-16 year group training is now called Junior Hockey Academy. This group trains on Tuesdays 7-8pm and we hope to have additional match practice on Sunday mornings when there are no league games.

The purpose of the Academy is to encourage our young players to continue improving their skills beyond the traditional hockey season. With training aimed at developing ball skills, positional play and tactics these sessions will enable our youth/young players to make the transition from junior to senior hockey within our club.
