The primary hockey event welcomed 10 schools to Lasswade High School on 23rd March for some fun hockey games!
On Thursday 23rd March, Active Schools held their second annual Hockey Festival, where they welcomed 10 schools from across Midlothian to the Primary Hockey Festival. The hockey festival is supported by Eskvale Hockey and Scottish Hockey, encouraging primary school pupils to take part and try out hockey with their peers in a friendly competitive event held at Lasswade High School astro.
Over 100 pupils from 10 teams participated in the round robin tournament organised by the Active Schools team. There was lots of impressive hockey skills, teamwork and great sportsmanship on display!
Volunteer coaches from Eskvale Hockey Club and Lasswade High School umpired the event. They provide an important link to the local community club as part of our ongoing work ensuring there are school-to-club pathways in sport. Eskvale Hockey Club have worked with Active schools this year to provide schools with an experience of extra-curricular hockey including a club experience which strengthens the school to community club link.
We look forward to our other upcoming events: Golf and Athletics later this year.
