TRY HOCKEY FOR FREE AT OUR Back 2 Hockey SESSIONS

What is Back 2 Hockey (B2H)?

‘Back 2 Hockey’ are FREE adult hockey training sessions, games and socials specifically aimed at people who have never played before (hockey beginners) or haven’t for a while.

The East London based Back 2 Hockey sessions are fun, social, informal, and a great way to get fitter and meet new people. If you are a little apprehensive, unsure of the rules, or worried that you won’t know anyone, don’t worry! The session is taken by a qualified coach to gently guide the group through a series of fun and interactive sessions in a friendly and relaxed environment.

Each Back 2 Hockey session helps players develop their individual skills and take part in small-sided friendly games. As well as igniting a love for the sport, Wapping also organises socials to help make friends along the way.
