We are still at the early stages of planning so dates and times aren't confirmed yet but we would like to open up this exciting project to our hockey colleagues. Whilst this project will still be under the WFHC umbrella it will have a separate name so you will not be disloyal to your club by getting involved. This will be a fantastic opportunity to get involved in a new project, give back to the community and add something new to your CV. We are looking for some level 2, level 1 and volunteers to help to run these sessions. Unfortunately these will not be paid positions but we will be in a position to offer further training to volunteers.
