This application should contain the following: the young person’s name and date of birth, the parental contact details (email address and mobile number) and child’s school.

Club’s policy for dealing with applications for membership
Once an application has been received, the Club Administrator will then consult with the Director of Youth Hockey who will in turn liaise with the lead coach of the age group of the new player concerned. If there any vacancies a place will be offered to the new applicant.

Reviews of Membership

Complete reviews of youth membership will occur once a year in July/August. Members wishing to discontinue will have their places offered to those on the “Waiting List”.

Applications for membership will lapse in September of each year and if an applicant still wishes to join, a fresh application should be made to the Club Administrator.

The club reserves the right to admit a new member under exceptional circumstances. For example, a player of proven ability at representative level, an applicant with a close family connection to the club; an application supported by the offer of substantial parental help (eg Coaching)

Applications for players who are Under 17/18 on August 31st of each year should be made to the senior section of the club. Under 18 teams for both genders are selected for cup competitions but do not have discreet training sessions.
