Testimonials
Stephanie Baxter, a parent, describes that "my first impressions of Garstang Hockey were great, very friendly and organised. Libby (daughter) felt comfortable from the start. Libby is learning loads very quickly!"
Grace McGarvey, who is 15, and now plays for the 1st team, came to the Club as a Junior and said of the U13's, "Garstang is fun and welcoming, I wanted to try a different sport and I love it and have made lots of new friends."
Sarah Hurst, parent of Emma Hurst (9), described us as "Garstang is local to us and has good, structured coaching. We were looking for a team sport for Emma to play and felt it fitted well with cricket which she also plays."
Training
Garstang Juniors train throughout the year on Thursdays, 5:30-6:30pm with some short breaks in-between.
Matches
In 2018-19 we entered Girls AND Boys U12 teams in to an In2Hockey League along with several local Clubs. Matches were hosted at Preston HC, Fylde HC and Garstang and run in a Tournament style where the Winner and Runner Up of each Pool then go on to play a Final and 3rd & 4th.... just like the World Cup! Matches are 7 a side and short in length so several fixtures are played on the same day. We are looking to do the same again for 2020-21.
See how they got on this year here and here.
Our Round at Garstang was a huge success thanks to the weather and the refreshments available throughout the day.
