We were all gripped by the exceptional performance by the GB womens' hockey team in the Rio Olympics. They have won an Olympic hockey gold medal by beating defending champions the Netherlands after a dramatic penalty shoot out.

Perhaps you were watching and were inspired enough by the hockey heroics to search for your local club for an opportunity to pick up a stick and have a go? Good news, you're in the right place and there isn't a better time to become part of the hockey family!

Bournville are offering Back to Hockey sessions on Tuesday 23rd August and Tuesday 30th August at King Edward VI Girls High School, Park Vale Drive, Birmingham B5 7SP. Both sessions are between 6.45pm and 8pm.

Back to Hockey sessions are aimed at people who either haven’t played hockey for a number of years or who are looking to play for the first time. Don’t worry if you’re nervous or can't remember the rules, our Back to Hockey coaches will guide you through the basics in fun and friendly sessions.

We can provide sticks, balls, bibs and cones, so you need to bring yourself, wearing trainers and some sort of sports kit.

Following these sessions, the hockey season will begin and we'll be able to offer you a number of training sessions to ease you into the game starting with our Club Day on Saturday 3rd September.
