FRESHER TRIALS
Do I need to attend both days?
No – just the one day
Where are trials?
Weetwood playing fields
How do I get there?
Take the No.1 or No.6 bus towards ‘Holt Park’ for £1 with your student card! Ask the driver to stop at Weetwood Hall, cross the road and you’ll find a bunch of smiley hockey girls to lead you on.
What does trials entail?
Trials are run by the 1-3s players. It involves a quick warm up with and without a ball. You will then be split up based on experience and will participate in some drills, followed by a game at the end. It is as easy as that!
Will I get onto a team?
YES- we don’t turn anybody away. We have 8 teams, and therefore there is a place for everybody who joins!
What do I need to bring?
Trials cost £5 on its own, but we would also like to invite you to our All Day Welcome Social on Saturday 29th September. If you would like to attend this bring £10 with you, this covers trials, a T-shirt, drinks deals and food on the day.
We advise bringing a stick, shinpads, mouthguard and water. However, the club can provide sticks if you do not own one.
What happens if I can’t make either of the days?
That’s ok, we will be holding a give it ago session in October or you can contact our club captain, Kasey and she will point you in the right direction.
For more information pop in and see us at fresher fair or you can contact the club captain, Kasey at butlerkasey2@gmail.com or 07951796796.
