Henley Hockey Club provides a wide range of training sessions to cater for all levels of commitment and ability. There are general club sessions for the casual player and those wishing to develop their game, and performance squad sessions for the more elite club players.
Pitch training takes place at Jubilee Park (next to Tesco) from September to March, with a short break over the Christmas period. Pre-season fitness for the 1st/2nd team squads, and any other enthusiastic members, also takes place during the summer months.
New players are welcome to join us at any time of the year. Please contact Mel Joyce or Jon Grocock who will ensure you get to the right session (see contacts page).
Coaching is provided to all teams by qualified and experienced coaches with a mix of drills, continued fitness and training games as part of the weekly sessions.
