What is a Satellite Club?

Satellite Clubs are extensions of community sports clubs usually based within a secondary school or college and specifically target the 14-25 age group.  Satellite clubs provide the step from school to community sport, which can often be too great and cause a lot to drop out of sport – Satellite clubs make it easy for young people to conitnue in sport or start playing for the first time.  It is an initiative set up by Sport England and funding is available to community sports clubs who can facilitate a satellite club in their area.

History of the Chipping Campden After-School hockey club?

Blockley have been running an after school club at Campden for the last 5 years.  It has been successful with a number of juniors moving on to senior hockey training and going on to play for the ladies 1st and 2nd team.  Blockley have been awarded funding from Active Gloucestershire to build our Satellite Club which started 5th January 2017.  Opportunities for volunteers to attend England Hockey Coaching courses are available.  If you would like to get involved or request more information, please use the form on the contact page, message us on Spond or through social media pages.
