Working with two state schools in the local area has helped Nuneaton reach a new audience of young people who have not had access to hockey previously. After-school clubs have been well


attended and the children have engaged positively with hockey and are looking to continue to play both in and outside of school.  Northampton Saints have worked with Cedar Road Primary


school to introduce hockey to 6-11 year olds through taster sessions, and an after-school hockey club.  They have provided a fantastic first experience to young people at the school who face


barriers to accessing sport and in particular hockey and also supported the children to attend their first local Primary school hockey festival, which they thoroughly enjoyed.   For those


that have been inspired to continue playing hockey, they help and support children with transition to their club.
