Under 8's Coaches David Shannon 07771 973872 dzshanno@yahoo.com Chris Hamer 07825 099049 chrisandglenhamer@tiscali.co.uk Match reports - Oxford city festival 29th Nov 2009
Training times Sunday 9.30 to 10.45 Age eligibility At Wallingford Wildcats as with many Hockey clubs in the country we combine 2 age groups into one. i.e Under 8, Under 10, Under 12 and Under 14. For your child to be eligible to train and play matches for the Under 8's, they should be under 7 or Under 8 years of age on the 1st September at the start of the new season. If they are 8 years of age on September 1st then they are eligible for the U10's. Main objectives for the year Have fun and get the basics. Learn to push, hit, stop and run with the ball. Also understand the benefits of positional play. Give every player an opportunity to play Hockey against other teams and understand good sportmanship. Away matches If your child is asked to play an away match then please inform the Team Manager that you will either be travelling as part of a convoy from Wallingford or will be meeting the team at the away team ground. Home Matches Please try to be 15 mins earlier when teams are visiting our club. This allows us to best utilise the time we have playing matches and it is also appreciated by the visiting teams. Kit 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. We will check your child is suitably dressed at the start of each session and if necessary, your child will not participate if the coach believes the child is unsuitably attired. For matches, your child will need team colours. This is normally a green and white quartered top with white shorts and green socks. If it is early in the season and you have not got around to purchasing these items then try at least to find green top.
