UPDATE 24.11.20 – Return to hockey
Based on current information, we expect Junior hockey to return on Sunday 6th December, with a full training schedule operating as normal.
In an effort to make up the training sessions lost due to lockdown, we are adding an additional week of training before Christmas. This means we will now finish for Christmas on Sunday 20th December, with mid-week training running as usual 14th-18th December. We also plan to extend the end of the season by two weeks but we will confirm these details nearer the time.
All of our previous COVID guidelines remain in place. It remains vital that your son or daughter does not attend training if they are displaying COVID symptoms or have been told to isolate.

2020 2021 Season Timetables
Sunday training
Training is held across our 3 pitches on Sunday mornings – the OC’s clubhouse pitch in Thames Ditton plus our two additional pitches at Hinchley Wood and Oaken Lane. From U10s upwards, players will be in an orange or blue training group. Please note that for most of the girls’ age groups, whilst blue and orange training sessions will run concurrently, to ensure the girls have sufficient space, the training sessions are in different locations.
