Deliver Hockey Heroes

Hockey Heroes is for children aged 5-8 years that are new to hockey and focuses on fun and enjoyment. The programme recognises the important role that parents play in encouraging their

children to be active and to develop an interest in sport. Certain elements within the programme have been specially designed to maximise parental interest, engagement and involvement. It

also brings parents to the club, so think about offering some Back to Hockey or Walking Hockey alongside the junior sessions to further engage them in the club. Hockey Heroes is designed to

help with the recruitment of juniors into clubs by providing a stepping stone towards membership for children and parents who have little or no experience of hockey.  The programme is a

pre-designed fully branded 8-week course that provides clubs with all the activity, game content and equipment for the 8 weeks’ worth of delivery.  An online management system allows clubs

to register, manage and promote their Hockey Heroes sessions and children who book onto Hockey Heroes receive a bespoke equipment pack direct to their house designed to build the excitement

prior to attending the club.  Clubs receive a financial kickback for every child who books onto the programme.   TO DELIVER THE PROGRAMME CLUBS NEED TO * Request the Hockey Heroes Club
