U14 Boys - Change of Session Times

As we are entering a combined U14/U15 Boys team in the JAC competition it has been decided that the U14 Boys should attend the 12 to 2pm session with the U15 Boys for the next 2 sessions. All U14s should have been emailed on this but just in case not, we;ve put it on the blog, also

27th January JAC

Unfortunately the weather has beaten up again and the JAC sessions for tomorrow are cancelled. The replacement date for your diaries is Sunday 10th February.

20th January JAC

Due to the weather the JAC sessions planned at Litherland this Sunday are cancelled. We will try to arrange an alternate Sunday soon. In the meantime, all remaining Sessions are on unless the weather beats us again. Happy sledging!

SUCCESS IN PROGRESSION TO THE PENNINE PUMAS

The Single System provides an opportunity for junior players to be coached and train with players of the same age and similar ability and participate in representative hockey. Whether players went on to the next level or not, we're sure all players that attended the training at Litherland benefited from the coaching and hopefully enjoyed the experience.  

Following the JAC tournaments players are selected to attend the Junior Regional Performance Centre (JRPC) at Belle Vue, Manchester. The JRPC takes players to the next level in player progression through the coaching system. Those selected for JRPC represent the what are considered to be the best or most promising 25 players in the  North West of England in their age group .  

From these players, after 6 days of assessment and tournaments at Wakefield, Manchester and Durham, the following players were selected to represent the Pennine Pumas (North of England) in tournaments against south of England

Well done to all players involved in the JDCs and JACs and good luck to the players of the Pennine Pumas in going forward to the next stage.  

A BRILLIANT EFFORT AND WELL DONE TO ALL!

It costs quite a lot of money to hold the JDC/JAC Single System and we have fixed costs to meet so coaching fees for all four JDC sessions will be collected at the player's first JDC session. Similarly fees for all five JAC sessions will be collected at the first JAC session. If a player misses a session, unfortunately refunds cannot be made. The charges for this year remain to be confirmed. 

All cheques for payment should be made out to Lancashire Junior Hockey
