Unfortunately, our return to youth hockey will be delayed following the announcement that we'll be in lockdown until at least 1 February - so we won't be restarting youth coaching on 17 January as we'd hoped. Our assumption is that no hockey will be played until February, but we won't be able to confirm this for certain until updated rules for grassroots sport have been agreed between sportscotland, Scottish Hockey and the Scottish Government.

Whilst U12s may be able to play sport, it's unlikely that school hockey pitches will open until at least 1 February. Hopefully the weather will have improved by then! Rest assured, we'll be ready as soon as we get the green light to resume hockey.

Our revised coaching schedule for this term is attached. However, the start dates may slip further depending on Covid rules at that time. We will no longer stop for mid-term to make up for lost time - and all sessions will be outdoors when we restart due to restrictions on indoor halls.

We're already working on an extended Summer term programme to make up for lost sessions this term. We can hopefully all look forward to lots of hockey in the sunshine during the Summer!

We'll continue to keep you updated. In the meantime, please stay safe and healthy.
