Stockton Hockey Club is delighted to announce the launch of our new Ladies 2nd XI for the upcoming season, creating even more opportunities for players to get involved, develop and enjoy hockey within the club.
The introduction of a second ladies team represents an exciting step forward in the continued growth of women's hockey at Stockton and reflects the club's commitment to creating opportunities for players of all ages, abilities and ambitions.
The Ladies 2nd XI has been created to provide a welcoming and supportive environment for a wide range of players, including those returning to hockey, new players discovering the sport and junior players looking to make the transition into senior hockey.
The team will provide an important pathway between junior and senior hockey, allowing players to continue their development while becoming part of Stockton's growing ladies section.
Over recent years, Stockton Hockey Club has seen significant growth across its women's and girls' sections, with increasing numbers of players joining the club and developing their skills.
The launch of the Ladies 2nd XI builds on this momentum and supports Stockton's vision of providing hockey opportunities for everyone within the local community.
Club representatives said:
"The growth of women's hockey at Stockton has been fantastic to see. Creating a second ladies team allows us to welcome more players, provide more opportunities and continue building a strong pathway for the future."
The Ladies 2nd XI will combine players with different experiences and backgrounds, from those returning to the sport after time away to players taking their first steps into senior hockey.
With the support of Stockton's coaches, players and wider club community, the team will play an important role in continuing to grow women's hockey at the club.
Whether you are an experienced player, returning to hockey or completely new to the sport, Stockton Hockey Club welcomes players of all abilities.
