THIRSK HOCKEY
CLUB
With only one astro surface available we have
only limited times available for coaching, given
that the pitch is also used by footballers in the
evenings.
We have just gone from two evenings a week
to three and that is still a restriction. There is a
major development on the edge of Thirsk which
will provide funds for additional sports facilities,
but an astro is not included. The major benefit will
be that a synthetic football pitch will be laid so we
will then have the astro available every evening.
This will then lead to the need for more coaches,
and so it continues.
In the coming years we want to continue to
grow our junior section to over 300 members,
to increase our senior teams by at least one
more ladies team, to recruit another 15 coaches
and support helpers and continue to train more
volunteers to be junior team managers. It will also
be important to improve our changing facilities
from two rooms to six to enable more teams to
change when participating at our tournaments.”
