Old Silhillians Hockey Club

OSHC has a flourishing Juniors section. We have regular training every Sunday for players aged 4 to 18.

The U8s section, which is aimed at children in school years 2 and 3, runs from 10:00am - 11:00am on Sunday mornings from September to April.

All new players are welcome. Contact a member of staff below or feel free to turn up at a training session.

Any child MUST wear shinpads and suitable footwear for sport played on an astroturf. Gumshields are strongly advised. We can provide sticks if necessary. No previous playing experience is necessary.

The main aim for this age group is to introduce them to inter club match play by taking part in a number of U8 friendly fixtures against other local clubs.

In order to meet this objective we will be teaching core hockey skills, match play concepts such as using pitch space and passing the ball as well as instilling values of sportsmanship, fitness and hydration.

Finally and definitely most importantly we will be having lots of fun discovering the joys of hockey.
