Cambridge South Hockey Club’s junior section trains weekly during the hockey season between September and March. In addition to training, Sunday fixtures are arranged for all age groups against a range of opposition standards to ensure enjoyable and competitive game time for players of every ability in every age group.
We have a dedicated team of qualified coaches, ably supported by parent and player volunteers who coach the Junior section. There is dedicated goalkeeper training for both boys and girls and plenty of club goalkeeping kit to protect them.
As a passionate club, we take a personal approach to promoting the development of our juniors, ensuring plenty of opportunities for everyone to play enjoyable and competitive hockey. We are proud that many of our juniors play for Cambs County, as part of England Hockey's Talent Academies, or at a high level in our senior club.
Read more about South's approach to junior hockey and the practicalities of joining up in the downloadable Junior Handbook in the resources section. We offer a free three-session taster for new players to try out without commitment. The subscription fee is due before your fourth session and if you decide not to continue beyond your first three sessions there is nothing to pay!
