Coaching for boys and girls aged 7 to 14 is available free of charge on Tuesday evenings from 6:30 to 7:45pm at Old Loughts’ during school term times throughout the hockey season.

Formerly known as the Youth Academy, it was set up in 2000 and provides access to hockey for those that might not otherwise get a chance to play our great game.

We regularly provide Hockey Coaching at local Primary schools through our professional coaching team and provide after- school clubs on site. This program allows those children to take the next step to play at our fantastic facilities ,for our Community in Chigwell and surrounding areas.

In the season 22-23 the Youth Academy was re-named to be called the Loughts Mavericks.

All standards are welcome, and we have special arrangements for complete beginners. No equipment other than a gum shield is required , ideally some shin pads, a pair of trainers and suitable clothing for running around . We have plenty of spare sticks to lend.

This initiative is part of our aim to work within our local community and promote hockey for all and is supported by our sponsors , Higgins Group and by the Old Loughtonians Trust .
