We are back this Friday for year 6! 🤪 Excited to kick off as we ended last year 😍 @grayshockey @zaraelvidge

And some more happy faces. After two terms you receive your kit with your name on it. Very exciting!

And one more from earlier in the year

Happy kids and happy coaches - Some shots from previous weeks

🏑 More from the Oxford trip: Some shots of the kids honing their skills with reverse stick moves, running drills, and passing exercises. 🔄🏃‍♂️🏑 Finished with a thrilling 30-minute game! Thanks again to @darkbluehockey + Lucy and Johann @grayshockey @evo_hockey @sport_england

Last week, our older HIC group visited Oxford University. It was an incredible trip aimed at familiarising the children with university life. We had a hockey session with @UniofOxford a tour of New College, and a materials science lesson. Thanks to Lucy & Johann for organising!

Some lovely tekkers on display this Friday! 😍 😎 🤭 @grayshockey

🤩 Our founder Rhys has come for a visit! His joy was infectious as he witnessed our young champions in action. 🎥 They delivered a stunning performance in front of the media. They're not just playing hockey; they're inspiring everyone! 🌟 @grayshockey @evo_hockey #StreathamMums

📢 Exciting News! @DarcyBourne , the Team GB superstar, is making waves! 🌟 She recently shared her and our club's diversity mission during interviews with BBC and Sky, right here at our training grounds in Mitcham Eastfields. 🎤✨ @grayshockey @evo_hockey #StreathamMums

#SixtySecondSkills 🧠 Let's learn! Receive across the body and pass: Receive ball in low body position. Good stick angle to trap the ball into the ground. Move right hand lower for more control. Pass the ball as the right foot lands. @grayshockey @evo_hockey #HICTraining

🏑 Beyond the pitch, exciting moments unfold at Hockey Inner City! 📸 Our dedicated photographers capture every memory, and we even had a "fierce" security dog this time. 🐶 Soon more about the unsung heroes at HiC 🙌💙 #BehindTheScenes #MVPs #UnsungHeroes

We're thrilled! Hockey Inner City has received a grant from London Hockey Futures @hockeyforlondon as part of their 23/24 funding programme! 🌟 This will help us continue and expand our program, providing more children with the opportunity to play hockey at HIC. 🙏💙 Thank you!

🏑 An inspirational role model on and off the field, @DarcyBourne, our Team GB star, made our training session unforgettable! Really sorry to hear about your knee surgery and we wish you all the best with recovery 🙏🏽❤ @grayshockey @evo_hockey @sport_england #HICTraining

shhhh... don't tell anyone. Team GB player @DarcyBourne is back coaching at HiC this Friday. Shall we bring a sharpie so that you can get your sticks signed? @grayshockey @evo_hockey @sport_england @gbhockey @englandhockey @uclwhc @ucl #HICTraining #StreathamMums #ActiveKids
