Hockey Ireland Launch ‘Pick up a Stick’
Would your club like to provide adults in your community with an opportunity to try hockey for the first time or to get back into the sport in a fun and friendly environment?
Hockey Ireland is inviting clubs and other community groups to get involved in the ‘Pick up a Stick’ programme.

- Subsidised coaching / umpiring courses for clubs taking part
