Welcome To The Junior Section
Everything in life has a beginning. The Hockey international representing Great
Britain in the Olympics had first to pick up a stick, and he or she had to
decide that it provided enough fun to want to pick it up again - and again -
and again! The aims of the Junior section are simple, but lie at the heart of
all that is done:
|
"The Junior Section of Havant Hockey
Club wants each one of its members and his or her family to:
ENJOY playing.
This means that training, matches and social events should be fun for all.
BE CHALLENGED to improve and to play at as high a level and in as good a team
as possible. ACHIEVE success. We want everyone to achieve success in his or her
own terms. Not everyone can play for Country, Division. County or Club 1st XI.
but all can achieve goals which are at one stage felt to be unreachable."
|
| The Club has an enormous amount to be proud of and the
Junior Section is the portal through which a huge number of members join,
thereby beginning very long connections with the Club. Therefore, it has always
been seen to be vital that the very youngest member of Havant should learn what
is expected. Opponents should be well-entertained and should enjoy playing
against us. Also on the pitch they should be given every respect as we set out
to beat them as well as we can. Havant has one of the largest junior sections
in the country; currently there are more than 230 members, but size is not
everything. We aim to ensure the continuity of top-quality Hockey for all
members.
