Junior Section
As we welcome back players from last season and say hello to new faces, we wanted to take the time to say thank you for choosing Fylde HC! In this section you will find all the information you need to know for the upcoming Junior Season.
​
Our Junior Section is led by Phil Hope, our Junior Club Captain and assisted by a team of experienced coaches.
All our coaches hold current EHB qualifications and receive regular training in First Aid and Safeguarding. Many are also experienced players who currently play in, or coach, our senior teams.

Equipment and Safety
Safety whilst playing is of fundamental importance. The club has spare hockey sticks for players to borrow. All players are strongly recommended to wear shin pads and mouth guards at all training sessions. We also recommend wearing gloves.

The game is only safe if the players play in the correct manner and listen to instruction from the qualified coaching staff.
