Coaches
Steve Harding will be the head coach and will be assisted by Richard Clee & Keith Packer.
Equipment
Shin pads and a suitable mouth guard are mandatory and we will not allow players to play in any games without them. We would also recommend that players bring suitable astro trainers (NOT football boots), and suitable sports clothing. The coaches will be on hand to advise any parents concerned about what is needed. We also recommend that you bring a plastic bottle of water with you.
Clothing / Kit
This year we are encouraging all our Junior players to purchase their own playing shirts (if you didn't get one last year) which can be ordered and purchased via Hawkinsport in Bourne End (http://www.hawkinsport.co.uk/). They are holding some stock at the moment so please pop in and see them as soon as you can.
Match day kit also includes Navy shorts, and red socks and again these can be purchased from Hawkinsport if needed.
Matches
Once again we will be taking part in Mercian sponsored U16 West leagues (this seasons fixtures are listed below). We have also entered the England Hockey U16 Cup competition (initial dates below - more details to follow).

All these matches are played on Sundays - coaches will contact the players in advance to determine availability and to confirm start times and meeting points.
We are also very keen for you to start playing Men's hockey on Saturdays - most of you have already confirmed an interest, but do let us know if you would like to get involved and we will put you in touch with the appropriate team Captain. It is assumed that those of you in the U17-U18 bracket will play senior hockey.
Let me know if you have any questions,
Regards,
Richard
