Multiple midweek training, even more “why Hawks”, Q&A and moreÂ
Exciting news about Hawks HC progress to being ready as a hockey club in Sussex in 2024/25.
Flexible midweek training at Hawks HC
Dutch junior hockey is the best in the world (don’t worry, we’re not moving to Amsterdam) and we want to bring a little of this to Hawks Hockey Club in Sussex.Â
Having access to practice sessions and coaching is key to team and player development. The Dutch do this best because they have huge open clubs, where juniors attend multiple times a week to train.Â
For Under 10’s and above, the training schedule at Hawks offers every age group a very dutch two midweek training sessions.Â
We see our members using this to either have extra hockey practice, or to pick a midweek training session which suits their diaries. This makes Hawks super accessible, while allowing us to provide excellent coaching for all.

Reasons to join the Hawks – Why would’t you!?!
Everyone’s priorities for children to play a team sport should include; for them to have fun, meet a great group of friends, take a hobby in to adulthood, be active and perhaps even be a national superstar (if you want to get rich, I’d try football).Â
Why join Hawks to help them achieve these through hockey?
Our “Join Us” page has some great reasons you should be part of Hawks Hockey Club.
The “Club specific benefits” section touches on our leadership & coaching experience, our focus on young players and the benefit of being detached from adult sections.

Result of our Q&A
In our previous article explaining how to Join Hawks HC, we offered the opportunity for parents to ask questions about the club and the upcoming season.
We had a number of questions about training days, and this has resulted in our new “Dutch style” training schedule.Â
We also had a couple of questions about which “Tier” league and competition our teams will play in…….. this is hard to answer until we know our players and their ability. Our answer generally is “the correct level of competition for the teams we have“. Getting this right is so important; too hard and players get demoralised, too easy and while parents are happy, the kids don’t learn much.Â
Generally though, we’re pleased we must have provided lots of great info, as we haven’t had many questions and we’ve had a lot of people signup. Someone in our team gets a “pat on the back”!
Please keep the questions coming. We’re happy to answer emails, chat on the phone, meet with you or publish future clarification publicly in our communications. Here’s the link to the form if this is your preference: Parent question submission form – click here
