Hockey
From skill-based learning sessions to competitive games, give your child the chance to experience the fun of hockey.
Children will learn the key skills needed to play as well as the rules of the game in fun sessions suitable for either those who haven’t tried to sport before or those who want to hone their talents.
A great lesson in the value of team play, our hockey sessions are also taught with a strong message on the importance of health and fitness awareness.
All children are registered and deregistered in via our strict registration policies, ensuring they are in a unique child-safe learning environment.
As with all our clubs, children are encouraged to follow the Premier Sport FUN AGREEMENT, which encourages them to take ownership of each session in a bid to ensure behaviour and respect is a priority in each and every activity.
Awards are presented at the end of every session for performance and attitude and certificates are awarded to each participant on completion of the course.
