CUBS

Cubs Hockey is for U5 to U13 players. There are practices every Saturday morning at the Randburg Hockey Stadium on the astro turfs, and the numerous junior club tournaments are hosted throughout the season by various different Gauteng hockey clubs.

​

The Cubs section is run by Louise de Jager - a past national player and the director of BMT Sport Consulting, with a Masters in Sport Sciences. Each age group is normally run by a parent, who’s child/children play in that respective age group. We ensure that each age group has sufficient coaches and co-ordinators to coach and manage each age group. The age groups are U5 mixed, U7 mixed, U9 girls, U9 boys, U11 girls, U11 boys, U13 girls and U13 boys. Depending on the number of players, we normally require one to two co-ordinators for each group. 

​

The co-ordinator liaises with parents each week based on whether there is practice or a tournament. They also work closely with their coaches, the Cubs Head and the Treasurer. U13 co-ordinators also need to ensure that their team(s) have an umpire when playing in the Friday night league. 

Coaching

Coaches are typically parents who have previously played the game or students that are currently playing hockey at a minimum standard. Our Cubs coaches are directed and managed by the head coach.

The focus of our Cubs coaches is to instill the basic techniques in our young players while having fun doing it. Our coaches manage players with a diverse sets of skills, particularly with the older children, from beginner to provincial hockey players.
