We are also planning a further fitness regime on Thursdays 18th, 23rd, 25th, 30th August and 1st September run by a Nuffield specialist. Although this is aimed at the 1st XI squad, it may be opened to others.

1st XI have a number of pre-league season matches on Saturdays through September, 3rd (Away vs York), 10th (Home vs South Notts), 17th (Home vs North Notts), 24th (Away vs Burton).

Deej has arranged a number of pre-season friendlies for the remainder of the Club – probably combining teams into squads - details will be published as soon as possible. 3rd September is to be a Practice Match session for the rest of the Club (except 1st XI).

League Matches

League games for all teams commence 1st October.

Player recruitment

We need to consider how to recruit more players – to offset losses through 1st teamers moving on and retirements. This will include fielding posters – for experienced “returning” players - in local gyms, sports centres, colleges, community noticeboards, S40 Local, etc..

But if you know of any experienced players (of any level) who might be interested in starting to play again, please encourage them to contact the Club.

In addition, there is Junior / Mini Hockey Training / Coaching

Mid-week at St. Mary's School Community Sports Partnership

Wednesdays commencing 7th September and Sundays commencing 11th September through March
every Wednesday between 5:45pm and 7 pm
