About the team

2023 last couple of sessions on 16th and 23rd April. Bringing your children to mini hockey at Lewes is a great way to introduce them to hockey.

But most importantly we aim to provide the best environment to give children every opportunity to fulfil their potential and create a life long relationship with one of the greatest sports in the world.
