We hope you’ve all enjoyed a good summer, but are now keen to return to hockey!
Training dates and times have been plugged into Pitchero and emailed to parents, please remember to update your availability and come down to join in with all the fun that every Sunday morning has to offer.
A word about SUNDAY 10TH SEPTEMBER, which is our JUNIOR CLUB DAY for all players aged 4 to 18. On Junior Club Day....
[]On the pitch…
• The early session running from 10:00-11:00 will be for our usual "mini" groups so U6, U8 and U10 so covering school years Reception to Year 5.
• Then the "junior" age groups, U12 and U14, will kick off their season with some refresher exercises and some small sided games all between 11:15 and 12:45.
• Finally the U16 and U18 groups will have a mixed tournament from 13:30 to 15:00, either 7v7 or 11v11 depending on numbers.
[]Off the pitch…
• Rupert will be wheeling out the BBQ (let's hope the Indian summer is here to stay) with all players receiving a token for a free burger.
• There will also be the opportunity to swap your reversible shirts in the likely event you've outgrown yours. We will also encourage people to bring in any other surplus kit that can be put to good use by younger juniors. Both of these will rely heavily on players bringing in their old kit of course.
[]!!!The Raffle!!!
• Worthy of it's own paragraph; we have begged, stolen and blackmailed to bring you an awesome range of prizes (for kids and parents alike) for our inaugural Junior Club Day fundraising raffle.
• Bring you piggy banks, spare change, debit cards and ApplePay and look out for anyone clutching a book of tickets before they run out.
• Prizes include:
# Facial Skin Beauty Therapy Sessions (value £450)
# Pension Advice Consultation
# 1-2-1 coaching with one of our overseas coaches
# Tickets to Warwickshire Cricket
# Hockey Sticks
# Water Bottles
# 2 x Gymshark £50 vouchers
# Pair of Headphones
# 2 x Bottles of Flavoured Gin

=================================================
If you needed any more motivation than the above, we're told we have entered the most junior teams into the EH Championships this year of all Warwickshire clubs and are second only to Beeston in the Midlands so there will be loads of opportunity to represent the club for those who train with us on a Sunday.

See you all on the 10th!
