The LHC Junior training scheme has been established to promote and support Junior and Youth hockey at Lymm Hockey Club. We hope that the Junior and Youth section will quickly become a major part of Lymm Hockey Club and become a school of excellence creating hockey stars of the future.
Attending the Junior sessions on a Sunday provides a route into the senior session training on a Wednesday evening. Players can move up based upon age and ability. Once playing at the senior sessions and if full members of the Club, youth players can participate in league matches. Transition to the senior sessions is normally around the age of 14yrs.
Lymm Hockey Club is also able to nominate junior players for the Cheshire Hockey training sessions which are run as part of the England Hockey Single System. The club is proud to say that a number of its junior players have been selected for the Cheshire squads.
Juniors matches are played for both boys and girls. See the main youth hockey page for the links to "Fixtures Live" where the fixtures and results for the youth teams and the rest of the club can be viewed.
