Social
As well as the hockey, the club has a vibrant social side which at junior level can range from cinema outings and fun days to overnight trips. We believe hockey is a great was for girls to make friends and keep fit and has the potential to become a lifelong passion as it has for many of us in the club.

This is the primary method of communication between the club and parents. Please ensure that your contact details are up to date and that you download ClubZap in order to receive all regular communication regarding training and matches. It is essential that text requests regarding matches are responded to within a timely fashion. Failure to do so may result in your child missing a match.

Equipment
Gum shields and shin guards are compulsory. Hand guards are highly recommended. Footwear should be suitable for Astro Turf pitches. We would also recommend sports gloves with grips, baselayers and hats for cold mornings. All girls must have their hair tied back off their face.
Matches
Matches normally take place on Sundays. Girls in 6th class to -U16’s play in an organised Leinster league. The younger age group play in several blitzes throughout the season, but the priority for these age groups is the development of hockey skills, teamwork and of course to have fun and be safe.
