Commonwealth Games Hockey inspired Castle Mead Academy and Leicester Hockey Club partnership 

For students at Castle Mead Academy in the heart of Leicester, all it took was a visit to watch hockey at the Commonwealth Games and they were hooked.
With funding from England Hockey’s Commonwealth Games Legacy project, Leicester Hockey Club have been taking hockey to places where it doesn’t currently exist within the city. Developing relationships with schools to help children get positive experiences, develop their skills and enthusiasm and due to their clubs proximity, support interested children transition into club hockey and develop a lifelong love of the game.
Have a look at the video for inspiration on how hockey clubs and local schools can work together to bring hockey to new people and places.
