The club provides opportunities for young people between the ages of 5 yrs and 18 yrs to learn to play ‘field’ hockey, to be coached in the whole range of skills necessary to do their best in competitions.  The club enters boys and girls teams for the under 10’s and under 12’s  In2Hockey Championships, and the under 14’s, under 16’s and under 18’s into the  England Hockey National Championships. The club also enters a number of teams at U8 mixed, U10 mixed, U12 boys, U12 girls, U14 boys and U14 girls into the Plymouth Junior Friday Night League which is held at the new Plymouth Marjon Hockey Centre. There are also numerous friendly tournaments, festivals and matches on offer for all age groups within the club.

Our qualified coaches are trained in child protection and have been screened for their suitability for working with young people.  These regular coaches supervise all coaching and although receive a small fee in terms of expenses are volunteers who commit a lot of time to the club.

Junior Development

Saturday Hockey

In due course boys and girls progress to the club’s senior teams that play on Saturdays and train during the week. Plymouth Marjon runs 4 men’s teams with the 1st XI playing in the West Conference National League, 4 womens teams with the 1st XI also playing in the West Prem 2. The club has a structured pathway to enable youngsters to progress to higher teams when they are ready and has seen much success in the past. There is an extra membership fee once juniors progress to regular Saturday hockey but will be assessed based on the time in the season.

Representational Hockey

We encourage the juniors to seek representational honours at county, regional and national levels when ready.

Coaching and Umpiring Opportunities

Older youth members are encouraged to gain umpiring and coaching qualifications. They can become involved in the many junior events held at the club as timekeepers, umpires, announcers, stewards and assistant coaches. Several older youth members help regularly at Sunday morning and week day coaching sessions.
