Happy Friday everyone,
As many of you know, we're in the process of moving all club communications to ClubZap. To make sure you don't miss any important information on training, matches, blitzes and other updates, please take a few minutes to check that you are a member of the correct group for your child's age category in the ‘Chat' section.
We're all getting used to this new App, so please bear with us while we make the transition. There may be the odd teething issue along the way, but we're confident it will make communication much easier for everyone once we're settled in. And do reach out if you have any questions.

We know that hockey is a new sport for many of our families, and it can sometimes feel a little daunting if you've never played before - there are so many rules!
The good news is that you are never too old to learn!
If you're a parent, guardian, family member or friend of a club member and would like to learn more about hockey, help out on some Sunday mornings, or simply get more involved in your child's sporting journey, we'd love to support you.
Hockey Ireland's "Fundamentals of Hockey" course is a great starting point for anyone interested in helping with coaching or supporting sessions. The club will cover the cost of the course, provided you can give back a few hours of your time to support the club during the season. Its great fun I promise.
👉 Simply book a place on a course through Hockey Ireland and let Anna or Pam know and we will arrange reimbursement for the course fee.

And finally, keep an eye out here for our new Club Shop which will open in the next few days. Just to note that purchasing club gear is completely optional and there is no expectation that members buy items. As it is new custom kit, there will be a lead-in time for orders, so if you're thinking ahead, club gear could make the perfect Christmas gift for your young (or mature) hockey player!
Busy weekend of hockey ahead....best of luck to everyone playing matches.
