This season will be very exciting for us as we are joined by Ian Jennings who will be the Coach to the 1St X1 (pictured above). Ian promises to bring a new dimension to the girls game and with his unique style and enthusiasm will help motivate the team towards their ideal goal of winning the Slazenger Premier League title for the first time.

Mel Clewlow and the team are excited at the prospect of working with their new Coach If any one can get that extra 5% out of a team, then its him!

Jennings, enjoyed an illustrious career as a player with Guildford, and as a Coach he steered the side from Division 2 into the top four of the Premier Division, he enjoyed spells of success with Slough Ladies before joining the England Team as Assistant Ladies Coach. Any new players who would like to join the squad will undoubtedly have an exciting year ahead of them.

Club Coaching
All new players, of any standard are most welcomed to join Club Coach Chris Haigh at Polo Farm for dedicated training sessions on a Tuesday evening at 8pm.These sessions are available to all ages, however, juniors may be selected to join The Junior Academy session on Thursday evenings, which offers more specialist coaching for the more talented junior player.

Sunday mornings are dedicated to mini hockey players, training sessions for the development of the younger player are well supported by the older members of the Club For parents interested in bringing their children to these Coaching sessions please see the Junior pages for contact numbers and timetables.
