BACK to Hockey sessions are back for 2016 with sessions running on Thursday evenings throughout July at Down Grange, home of Basingstoke Hockey Club.
Aimed primarily at those adults haven’t picked up a stick in a while, but also open to anyone who fancies just giving it a go, the sessions are on the astroturf pitch from 7.30pm.
“If you’ve been thinking about taking up hockey, then this is the ideal opportunity,” said ladies section captain Nicola Burridge.
“We’ll have sticks and balls available to use, and friendly and experienced coaches on hand to give you tips and advice, so all you need to do is bring yourself and wear clothes you’d normally be comfortable exercising in.”
The timing is good as our normal club training will begin in August so this really is the perfect starting point.
Several ladies and gents have progressed from taking part in Back to Hockey sessions in previous years and are now regulars on the pitch representing Basingstoke Hockey Club.
