Hockey is one of the most gender-equitable team sports and is fun, fast, safe and exciting.
Multiple skills are developed whilst playing, improving physical competence through balance, coordination, agility and dexterity, and wider personal skills such as teamwork, communication, respect, discipline, fairness and pride.
As part of our Junior Hockey Framework for 5-11 year-olds, schools will play a crucial role in creating fun, safe and progressive hockey experiences for young people.
