Under 6's

Coach

Susannah Baker

Training times

Sundays 9.30 to 10.30

Age eligibility

In this session we allow children aged 4 to 6 years of age to train with Wildcats. Typically when your child reaches 6 years of age they can be moved up to the Under 8's group. However if your child is happier staying with their friends or if you feel they are not ready for the next group they can stay with the Under 6's.

Main objectives for the year

This group is mainly about having some fun with movement. They will do games and exercises that help their balance and co-ordination and we will gradually introduce them to the basics of hockey. Along with the special games we play at Christmas and the end of season disco they will hopefully enjoy their introduction to hockey.

Clothing and Equipment

For training we ask that children come suitably dressed. In the colder winter months this means gloves, warm hat, at least one other top layer and track suit bottoms or equivalent. We would also recommend they bring a drink.

Please note that shinpads are mandatory. Gumshields and gloves are recommended. The coach will check your child is suitably dressed at the start of each session and if they are not your child will not be able to participate.
