(Re)Start - Block 1 - Winter25

Service Description

(Re)Start Hockey sessions are fun, sociable and informal and aimed at people who either haven’t played hockey for a number of years, who are looking to play for the first time or who want to keep improving their skills. Don’t worry if you’re nervous or don’t remember any rules our (Re)Start Hockey coaches will gently guide you through this series of fun and friendly sessions. We promise it’s nothing like the schools days of muddy pitches and standing around waiting for a touch of the ball! Go on… give it a go! Venue: Cheltenham College Cotswold Astroturf What to wear: Grippy Trainers, Clothing you can run about in Equipment: We have sticks and shin pads to lend. So all you'll need is a pair of long socks to tuck the shin pads into (a pair of footie socks will do the job). We'd strongly recommend you wear a gum shield but it is entirely up to you. What people say: "I was nervous about going to the Back to Hockey Sessions as I'd not played since school (the 90's). I found everyone to be really friendly and it was great being back out there and part of a team, rediscovering my love of the game. The coaches ensure everyone's skill level is covered and that we are all improving together. We finish each session with short matches (my favourite part as I'm competitive). It feels great to be getting fit and playing again. I'm really glad I went to that first session." "Getting back into Hockey to me is more than just playing a team sport, I have met some amazing people and great friends. It's been brilliant to be able to play the game I loved so much again, and have the support and encouragement of the team :) " "I always tell my children to give new things a go, but I have a new respect for them now. I was so nervous before the first (Re)Start session, that I nearly didn't go. I'm glad I did as it challenges me physically and mentally learning new skills. It's a great way to start the week." "I have rediscovered a sport that I love playing but didn't think I'd get the chance to be involved with again. I have also met some fantastic people and made new friends; it's one of the highlights of my week and great fun. I'd recommend it to anyone." PLEASE NOTE: This ticket is non-refundable
