Junior Hockey is our coaching scheme for youngsters - of both sexes - age range 6 to 16.
The Junior Hockey Group meets most Wednesday evenings during the Winter Season :
Our AUTUMN TERM starts in early September and ends in mid-December (No session on half term).
Timings - from 6:00 – 7.00 pm open to players aged 6 - 16
and 'Development Squad' for players age 9 upwards continues 7:00 to 8:00 pm
Our WINTER TERM starts in early January and ends in early April  (No session on half term Wednesday). There is additional Sunday training - 10:30 to 11:45 a.m. for the team squads. Friendly matches take place on a regular basis between September and March and are played at home(St. Mary’s) or grounds in Derbyshire / Nottinghamshire. Matches start around 10.30 am and last an hour.
While there is a competitive element to these games winning is not the "be and end all". We aim to give anyone interested a chance to play – please let your coaches know of your interest.
In addition we are running "occasional" teams at U-10, U-12, and U-14 levels to participate in both friendly matches and tournaments.

Any junior boys playing for the men’s teams on Saturdays and paying junior club membership, still need to pay training fees if they attend the session run by our club coach from 7:00-8:30 every Wednesday. Older girls of 13-15 are welcome to train with Staveley ladies from 7-8pm and they would need pay Staveley the required training fees separately.
