VACANT ROLES
This season we have lots of great volunteers running the section and I am pleased to say we don't have many roles vacant. The following though are roles that we are still looking to fill to support the growth and expansion of the Junior Section for which some require no particular hockey knowledge:

U12 Girls Coordinator – The U12s Girls squads need someone to do some behind the scenes work coordinating squads for fixtures. You do not need any hockey knowledge to do this role, just a little spare time and an email address! It’s basically communicating with all the parents/guardians of the U10s about fixtures and compiling who is available for which fixtures. You do not need to attend training or fixtures.

U10 Coordinator – The U10s mixed squads need someone to do some behind the scenes work coordinating squads for fixtures. You do not need any hockey knowledge to do this role, just a little spare time and an email address! It’s basically communicating with all the parents/guardians of the U10s about fixtures and compiling who is available for which fixtures. You do not need to attend training or fixtures.

Coach/helper required to attend the U9s training each Sunday and help to coach them, to organize the squad and attend fixtures (these are all organized by Andrea Jobling our U12 and below fixture coordinator so no fixture organizing is required). The teams have around 8 fixtures a season and they are always on Sundays. You do not have to be a qualified coach to do this role but some knowledge of hockey is good.

Coach/helper required to attend the U8s training each Sunday and help to coach them, to organize the squad and attend fixtures (these are all organized by Andrea Jobling our U12 and below fixture coordinator so no fixture organizing is required). The teams have around 8 fixtures a season and they are always on Sundays. You do not have to be a qualified coach to do this role but some knowledge of hockey is good.

Coach/helper required to attend the U6s training each Sunday and help to coach them, to organize the squad and attend fixtures (these are all organized by Andrea Jobling our U12 and below fixture coordinator so no fixture organizing is required). The teams have around 8 fixtures a season and they are always on Sundays. You do not have to be a qualified coach to do this role but some knowledge of hockey is good.

ADMINISTRATION & SUBSCRIPTIONS
A membership form is available to download or please email emma.hewitt@englandhockey.org to request one. It is essential that every child has a completed form returned to our Junior Secretary (see details on form), along with the annual subscription (to be sent to our treasurer – again see form for details). This will allow us to update the records and distribute the correct details to the Team Managers and Coaches in case you need to be contacted in an emergency. It will also allow us to keep you informed on Club events and information.

Please pay particular attention to both sides of the form as we need your approval to distribute contact information to Team Managers. We are also hoping to have more coverage (including photographs) for use in local press, club newsletters & website and also for the clubhouse gallery! Photographs will be of squads or action photos in matches, not of individual players - however we need your approval to take these.

Whole Season   £65.00
Half Season   £35.00 per ½ season

Cheques should be made payable to 'Chalfont Park Sports Association'. Subscriptions are due by 15th October 2009.

Match fees are £2.00 for all games outside normal training times. These are payable to the Team Manager on the day.

PERSONAL EQUIPMENT
It is important to wear appropriate clothing and equipment to training and matches. Good shin pads and mouth guards are essential, we do not allow players to participate in training or matches without both of these. Many players also wear protective gloves. Goal keepers should discuss personal protection with the coaches, although we will provide the basic equipment (kickers, pads, helmet, gloves and chest pad). We have a few spare sticks for you to borrow if you forget yours or don’t have your own. ACHC shirts can be borrowed for games until you have your own. Please ensure that you come suitably dressed for poor weather conditions for both training and matches.

FIXTURES AND RESULTS

These are regularly updated on the Fixtures section of the main website.

HOCKEY KIT
We have a new Club Kit and supplier. All items must be ordered on-line so please click the Club Kit tab on the menu to the left.

CHALFONT PARK SPORTS ASSOCIATION
Our hockey club is part of Chalfont Park Sports Association, based at Chalfont Park, Chalfont St Peter (just off the A413, next to Gerrards Cross Golf Club). Juniors are members of CPSA and as such have access to the facilities of the clubhouse.
The club runs 6 men’s teams (including a Vintage team) and 5 Ladies teams on Saturdays. Adult club training for men takes place on Thursday nights from 7.45pm to 9.15pm at Newlands Park Astro. The Ladies all train at Newlands Park on Tuesday nights 7.45pm to 9.30pm. Older juniors (13yrs+), who are looking to move up to adult hockey, are welcome to join the adult club training sessions free of charge and get involved with the Saturday adult teams. If you think you might be interested in this then please speak to one of the coaches or Emma.
