Mission Statement
Pembroke Juniors devoted to creating an respectful, safe, friendly and supportive community for young people - from Junior Infants (boys & girls) to 4th Year (boys) and 6th Year (girls) - to learn and develop their team and individual hockey skills.
Players are coached to respect the game, coaches, team mates, opponents and officials whilst developing a sense of competitiveness, team camaraderie and sportsmanship. Pembroke coaches aim to provide a high standard of coaching that creates a positive, fun and challenging experience for each player.
We strive to create a community where opportunities for excellence exist, healthy competitiveness encouraged, friendships are forged and a sense of fun and enthusiasm for the game of hockey is fostered.
Equipment & Kit
For all players at all ages, gum shields and shin guards are compulsory.
Blitzing age groups (Junior Infants to 5th Class) play in black tracksuit/shorts/skorts with purple Pembroke socks. A Pembroke t-shirt and hoody are available in Ed Sports, located in the Pembroke Grounds.
League teams (boys and girls (6th Class - 6th Year) play in full Pembroke league kit - also available in Ed Sports). For these ages, face masks (defending short corners) and hand guards are strongly recommended.
All footwear should be suitable for Astro-Turf pitches.
