JUNIORS
A very warm welcome to the Witney Hockey Club Junior Section!
We pride ourselves on our inclusive and accomplished junior programme. From age 5 to 18 we provide top hockey coaching to all abilities. Watch your child grow in confidence and skill as they learn to work as a team whilst keeping fit and making friends.
With qualified coaches, our juniors learn hockey in a safe environment from the role models they'll likely play with as they develop into adult hockey.
We know how to get players into England Hockey Development Centres, if that's their aim. With county coaches as part of our coaching staff, Witney boasts a range of JDC participants. But whatever the player's focus we make sure to have fun week in, week out, whilst learning key skills.
Many of our adult players joined us as juniors, including members of our Ladies' and Men's 1XI team, demonstrating the nurturing environment we provide coupled with the quality of coaching.
Welcome to the family!
