Hockey in Cornwall

Hockey is a popular, family-orientated sport, offering a lifetime of sporting andsocial opportunities. Nationally, there are over 1100 clubs, one million youngpeople with access to hockey and over 30,000 volunteers who coach, umpire,officiate and administer the game. Hockey in Cornwall is going from strength tostrength. Essentially, everyone involved in Cornish hockey endeavours to developthe sport, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to start, stay and succeed inthe game.

This booklet acts as a guide to hockey in Cornwall. It outlines county, club andschool structures, as well as offering advice to anyone who would like to getinvolved in this fast, exciting game. There are opportunities for players, teachers,coaches, umpires and volunteers at all levels.

The Cornwall Sports Partnership works in conjunction with the Cornwall HockeyAssociation, focussing especially on increasing the number of young peopleinvolved in hockey, developing player, coach and umpire pathways, and supportingthe club structure.

We are always looking to progress so your views and ideas are always welcome orif you would like to have more information on hockey in Cornwall, please do nothesitate to contact us.
