Junior Training

We train every Thursday evening on the Astroturf at Newmarket Sports Centre between 7 and 8pm. Toilets are available at the school. We start in September and finish after the Suffolk Youth Games in July only stopping during the Christmas holidays. We split training into two groups, up to school year 6 coached by Helen Atkinson and Peter Reed and year 7 and above coached by Chris Evans and Chris Leggett. We will move children around if we feel they would benefit more by being in a different group.

Junior Matches

Our matches are usually split into age groups (U9, U11, U13 and U16) U9 and U11 are generally mixed. There is incidently, no minimum age limit, so if you would like to bring your son or daughter along to see how they like it, please do.

What to Wear

We do not mind what you wear but please ensure you are wearing shin pads.

What to Bring

A drink and stick if you have one, although we do have spare sticks.
