Pembroke Juniors 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.
About Pembroke Juniors
Pembroke Wanderers Juniors is a thriving part of our Club, with over 700 children (boys and girls) and around 50 Coaches. We have three main groups:
- Hockey Tots (Junior & Senior Infants)
- Blitzers (1st-5th Class)
- League Teams (6th Class-6th Year)
See below for key training times. For players at all ages, gum shields and shin guards are compulsory and all footwear should be suitable for Astro-Turf pitches.
To ensure we have a one Club spirit, we ask that all players wear our Club colours, which is available from Ed Sports, located in the Pembroke Grounds.
Being part of the larger Club community is really key for us in Juniors. In addition to training and matches, we run a number of social events throughout the season so that our Juniors know they are part of the wider community and enjoy all that our Clubhouse has to offer.
This is a team sport and it takes all of us to make it successful. So in order to do this, we have a Codes of Conduct for all involved - for our players, parents and coaches.
