Walking Hockey

Walking Hockey sessions are held at Portsmouth Grammar School Playing Fields (Hilsea) on Thursday evenings from 18:30-20:00, with the option for some sociable ‘refreshments’ afterwards.

Portsmouth were the first club in the area to introduce dedicated sessions for walking hockey, and it has fast proven to be a fun version of the game.

There is no commitment to turn up every week, and the game suits players of all standards.

The sessions are well attended by players of all abilities including many who have just picked up a stick for the very first time, Mums, Dads and their kids, and also a good sprinkling of regular players, who have all quickly realised that it can be more energetic than it’s name might suggest!

The game is played on a small pitch, with teams typically of 4 or 5 a side.

Complete beginners are always welcome and help, advice and coaching is given to to all.

To cover the cost of pitch hire, there is a small charge of £3 per player, or £5 per family for walking hockey.
