AYLESBURY HOCKEY CLUB Aylesbury Hockey Club has enjoyed a great season providing hockey for all age groups and abilities. We currently have five men’s, four women’s and multiple junior teams across all age groups. Whilst the season may be coming to a close, hockey will continue over the summer period with an adult mixed summer league running from May through to July. Junior fun will also continue with fun coaching sessions and games on a Wednesday evening at The Aylesbury Vale Academy. If you would like to come down and have a go, we would love to see you. If you are interested, please drop us an email via the contact section on the website link below. After the summer the new season will kick off again in September with training and matches for all. Adults train in the week and have league games on Saturday, juniors on Sunday. The hockey club is very sociable and a great way to meet new people. You will find our club house on the Wendover Road. We have fun socials for all age groups, including the annual Boxing Day games and a hog roast coming soon. So, any age or ability come and see what you think! www.aylesburyhc.com instagram.com/aylesburyhockeyclub
CALLING ALL FUTURE LIONESSES! FREE GIRLS’ FOOTBALL TRAINING To celebrate the UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 Football Championship, Aylesbury Vale Dynamos FC is offering free girls’ football training until 30 July. Training is on Saturday mornings at Bedgrove Park from 9-10am for ages 5-11, and 10:15-11:15am for ages 12-14. The sessions are open to girls of all abilities, from complete beginners to girls who are already playing football. With over 500 registered players, Dynamos is the largest community football club in Aylesbury. The club is an FA-approved centre to deliver Weetabix Wildcats and Squad Girls’ Football training, and recently created a new committee to oversee the growth of female football in the club. “It’s an exciting time for girls’ football,” says the new Head of Women’s Football, Toby O’Callaghan. “We’ve seen the number of girls grow week-on-week and we are expecting even more interest due to the Women’s Euros, especially as some of the games are being played locally in Milton Keynes.” The club will be showing the England Women games on the big screen at the Greenfleets Stadium clubhouse in Haywood Way. “You don’t have to be a member to watch the games,” says Toby, “all the family can come down to cheer on the Lionesses.” As well as looking for new players, the club is also looking for volunteer coaches to help grow the new girls’ section. For more information on either playing or coaching, email avdfcgirls@gmail.com, call/text 07517 643152 or search for @avdfcgirls on social media.
