We’re also great at training up newbies so if you’ve never played in goal before but always wanted to give it a go, then come give us a try, there’s plenty of reasons to keep at Wapping:

  • A fun diverse, hardworking, social gang ready to welcome you!

Goalkeeping for juniors

Wapping Kidds is delighted to offer goalkeeping introductory sessions for children in Years 1 to 13 thanks to funding from Sports England. Our coaches will teach the basics of goal keeping in a fun and supportive environment. Children completely new to hockey are welcome and we especially encourage children who don’t currently participate in a sport.

The sessions are completely FREE and we provide all kit. Our coaches are all DBS checked and parents do not need to stay at the sessions.
