Walking Hockey In Ireland

One of the pioneers of the programme, Avoca Hockey Club, recently hosted a Walking Hockey Festival that welcomed players and clubs from across the country. The event showcased the joy, inclusivity, and community spirit that Walking Hockey brings, while highlighting its potential to grow nationwide.

To support the establishment of Walking Hockey programmes, grants are available to clubs through the Sport Ireland Dormant Accounts Fund. This funding will help clubs create new opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to engage with the sport in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

Hockey Ireland now invites clubs and individuals across the country to get involved and discover the benefits of Walking Hockey.

For more information on how to take part, or to learn how your club can access grant funding to start a Walking Hockey programme, visit the Hockey Ireland website https://hockey.ie/get-involved/play/walking-hockey/ or contact info@hockey.ie
