Back to Hockey sessions are informal sessions that tend to last six weeks during which players are introduced back to the game by mixing in some skills exercises with some small-sided games.

However the emphasis is on a friendly and relaxed environment without the pressure to perform.

Greame Wilson from Northamptonshire Sport added: “It’s also an opportunity to get fitter, as each Back to Hockey session can burn circa 450 calories.”

Back to Hockey opportunities in the county are available at the Long Buckby, Northampton, Welford and Wellingborough clubs.
