Newbury & Thatcham Hockey Club

🏑 What an incredible day! 🙌
On Tuesday, we welcomed 110 Year 3 & 4 kids from 14 different schools to NTHC! 🎉
These kids picked up a hockey stick for the very first time and learned some awesome skills from our fantastic young leaders (and a few experienced ones too! 😄).
Huge shoutout to all our volunteers 💙 and teachers 👏 for helping these future hockey stars begin their journey with the sport we love!
The energy was unreal and we can't wait to see where hockey takes them! 🌟
