Hockey House Activities


Given the 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony is just 20 days away, it is time to publicise the events we plan to host at the Den over the Olympic period. As previously announced, we were delighted to have been selected by England Hockey to be one of only 11 Hockey Club Hockey Houses sponsored by GB Hockey. This provides us with many free of charge GB Hockey items to deck out the Goals Clubhouse.

So for your chance to watch the GB Hockey matches live on TV, get yourself along to the Goals Clubhouse for all except the games on Sunday 29th July (evening) and Saturday 11th August (afternoon and evening). Gather with other Club Members to soak up the Olympic atmosphere.

Did you get to see the Olympic Torch as the Relay travelled through Norfolk this week? If so, you might have seen GB Women’s Captain Kate Walsh running in Norwich and Kate was joined by James Colley on the Norwich leg. For those that don’t know James, he has a close association with Norwich Dragons Hockey Club, as well as UEA Hockey Club, being a Chemistry student at the UEA. James is a highly regarded hockey umpire, umpiring at a local and regional level. He also leads the coaching of young umpires in Norfolk.

For a very rare opportunity, how about popping along to the Den in the afternoon of either Saturday 4th August or Sunday 5th August to get a chance to see James and his Olympic Torch? Exact details will be emailed nearer to time.

That weekend also sees an opportunity for non-playing Mums (Saturday) & Dads (Sunday) of our Young Dragons to pick up a hockey stick with other ladies and men new or returning to the sport, in the ‘Give it a Go’ session at the Den!

With so many events taking place at the Den, we’ve colour coded the activities to link similar activities, dark green for all, light green development, orange for mixed, blue for men&older boys and pink the ladies&older girls. Hopefully this will help you find something that you can come along to watch, or get involved in.
As we get closer to some of the one-off events we will communicate further. If you have an idea for another event that you are prepared to organise, please let us know and we will see how we can help.
