New to GHC? · Free Thursday hockey for primary-school children
Free, beginner-friendly hockey with John Hooper and Carol Brewster — it’s not too late for your child to join.
Thursdays until the final session on 26 November 2026. Beginners are welcome to join the remaining sessions. Please check the latest Thursday dates and arrangements with GHC before attending. For older players or other sessions, see the full junior summer programme.

Primary-school children can try hockey with no experience or GHC membership needed. John Hooper and Carol Brewster will help them get started, and GHC can lend a stick.
Wear comfortable sports clothes and suitable shoes, and bring a water bottle. GHC can lend your child a hockey stick at the session, so there is no need to buy one before trying hockey. Please ask GHC about any other safety equipment needed before attending.
Session arrangements may change. Check Thursday session details with GHC for the latest details.
With John Hooper and Carol Brewster, children can enjoy movement, learn some basic hockey skills and discover the game in a welcoming environment. It's an invitation to try hockey at GHC, with no commitment to a full season.
You can still join a suitable session before this summer series finishes. Hockey at GHC will resume in 2027, and we are always looking for new players of any age — beginners, returning players and experienced players.
