Whether you’re picking up a stick for the first time in years, or have always wanted to try hockey but never had the chance, our Back to Hockey sessions are the perfect place to start. Forget any worries about skill levels, fitness, or remembering the rules – these sessions are all about having fun, getting active, and enjoying the social side of the game in a relaxed, friendly environment.

What to Expect

• Fun & Informal: Our qualified coaches will guide you through gentle, interactive sessions. The emphasis is on enjoyment and building confidence, not high-pressure performance.
• Relearn or Learn the Basics: We’ll cover fundamental skills like dribbling, passing, and shooting, gradually building up your confidence with the stick and ball.
• Small-Sided Games: Put your new (or rediscovered) skills into action with fun, low-key games. It’s a great way to experience the thrill of playing without the intensity of a full match.
• All Ages & Abilities Welcome: Our sessions are designed for everyone, regardless of your hockey background or current fitness level. We embrace players from all walks of life!
• A Supportive Community: Join a group of like-minded individuals who are all there to enjoy themselves. Many of our Back to Hockey participants find new friends and a welcoming place within the club.
• No Equipment? No Problem! We can provide sticks if you don’t have your own. Just come dressed in comfortable sports clothing and trainers. Shin pads are recommended, and a gum shield is a good idea if you plan to continue playing.

Why Join Back to Hockey?

• Get Active & Improve Fitness: Hockey is a fantastic way to boost your cardiovascular health, improve hand-eye coordination, and build stamina – all while having a great time!
• Boost Your Mood & Mental Wellbeing: Being part of a team, learning new skills, and getting regular exercise can significantly reduce stress and improve your overall sense of happiness.
• Socialize & Make New Friends: Our Back to Hockey sessions are incredibly social. It’s a wonderful opportunity to meet new people in the Harrow community and become part of our vibrant club family.
• Rediscover Your Passion: If you used to play, you’ll be amazed at how quickly the joy of the game comes back to you.
• Pathway to Club Hockey (Optional): If you find you love it (and we think you will!), our coaches can help you explore joining one of our senior teams when you feel ready. There’s absolutely no pressure to do so – you’re welcome to stay with Back to Hockey as long as you like!
