Hockey ACT are very excited for the return of our Walking Hockey Program. Walking Hockey is a 5 v 5 modified version of the game played on a smaller field with a lighter ball. The program is open to all ages, abilities and skill levels and runs at the National Hockey Centre in Lyneham over 6 weeks. Sessions will consist of small warm-up drills followed by a 30-40 minute game. Participants are also invited to stay after the session for light refreshments and a chance to chat and catch up with other participants.
