DEVELOP YOUR HOCKEY AT CLIFTON LADIES

We have a lively and thriving juniors and minis section within the club, catering for 8 year olds to 13 years.

At Clifton LHC we recognize the need to develop talent through structured coaching and player mentoring in a safe and friendly environment. Our child friendly methods are also endorsed by our holding the England Hockey CLUB FIRST Award.

WE positively encourage our juniors to develop and work on their skills, by working in ability graded groups and making progress via England Hockey Stix Skills and other initiatives, combined with our own coaches 'know-how' gained through years of experience working with youngsters. These methods help to produce some of the best players in the county and a few will possibly progress into Satellite development squads and even talent camps too.

We also run non residential Junior Hockey Camps where our juniors can have fun for a couple of days working alongside some of our 1st team squad players.

We provide competitive opportunities via Avon Junior Hockey Leagues at Under 12, U14 and U16 levels in which we have an impressive record, as well as England Hockey's national Cup and Plate competitions.

When we believe players are ready to make the transition to play in the adults leagues, initially your child will be invited to train with the Fifth Team and once confident are given the opportunity to play for the 5's.

Alongside a couple of experienced adults in the side, they have fun, gaining invaluable competitive match experience and achieve some quite remarkable results… come to CLHC and enjoy your hockey.
