JUNIOR INDOOR

Indoor field hockey is a fast-paced and exciting sport perfect for kids looking to try something new. Played on a smaller field (gymnasium) with a lighter ball, it’s a great way to develop agility, hand-eye coordination and teamwork in a fun and social environment. Whether you’re a complete beginner or have some experience with outdoor field hockey we offer a chance to learn the skills, make friends and experience the thrill of competition.
