We're Hiring!

In 2021 we launched an incredibly successful Schools Outreach project. We engaged with 23 schools in our district and were able to on board 13 to our project. Across all three terms we provided 6 sessions of free of charge to schools, hosted by our qualified and DBS certified coaches with equipment provided. In total we were able to teach hockey to over 500 children with huge success and praise from our local schools.

Our Goals

Restore hockey back in Thanet. With our schools no longer playing the number of students picking up a stick are at an all time low while hockey nationally remains in the top 5 most player sports. This disconnection for our district feels wrong and something we are keen to put right!
We want to get the children of Thanet active and playing sport. Since COVID, the volume of children actively involved in sport has dropped and children are not getting outside as much as they could or perhaps should. Our project will introduce hockey in a fun and friendly way with the view to welcome them to our club and develop into future hockey stars. Over the year Cliftonville has produced international hockey players so the potential is untapped!
We have a duty to provide affordable sport, something as a club we feel passionately about. We want to make a difference in our community and allow people who have not previously been able to play hockey because it costs money to buy a stick and become a member, to now be able to play hockey. Running alongside the school project the club will be funding free hockey at our junior and adult training sessions throughout the year with new members receiving 2 free sessions.
