Junior Hockey

We are a vibrant junior club where all children and young people can learn and improve their hockey capabilities.

Everyone is welcome, beginners and experienced players alike. We cater for all abilities, from those who come to play the game for the first time to those at County, Regional and National level. 

With over 200 junior members, starting as early as age 6, we want our players to make friends and enjoy being part of our hockey community. Many of our juniors go on to play senior hockey and both mens and ladies current squads have junior members who have come up through the ranks. Please visit our player pathway pages for more information about how we encourage juniors to play at all levels within the club.

We are an affiliated England Hockey club and Harrogate Juniors play in the Yorkshire and North East Youth Hockey League, playing in tournaments against teams throughout Yorkshire and the North.

Our coaching team offers a wealth of experience and knowledge using a combination of qualified coaches, hockey playing parents and senior club members from the mens and ladies sections. 

We are also very lucky to have a number of committed parents who run the section and manage and umpire the teams. All our administrators and helpers are volunteers.

Junior Hockey needs you!

We rely on parents to help with matches and are always short of team managers, umpires and general support on the match days. If you are planning to come and watch your children play matches, please consider how you could become more involved - please ask your age-group coordinator for more information.
