Youth Squad
We're excited to say this season we are introducing a Youth Squad to March Town Hockey Club to bridge the gap between our junior club and senior teams.
Joining the Youth Squad does not mean your child has to play for senior teams it is for a more advanced standard of coaching than juniors.
Open to boys and girls in years 8 and above it is being held at the Neale Wade Astro at 7.30 - 8.30 on a Thursday.
Starting from Thursday 21st September, same as junior fees.
Coached by former National League player Ross Ambler we're excited to invite all those juniors who are now too big and too old to play at junior level! It's time to move on to a later time!
I will be there to meet with them all at 7.30 on Thursday 21st, if you have any queries, please message or email me at lucy.norton@me.com
