Boys and Girls will also be involved in Sunday Leagues and Competitions which vary for each age group. Our aim is to provide coaching for each age group each week irrespective of whether matches are being held, although there may be exceptions. Lead coaches in each group will keep players informed of match details and competitions.
Each age group will have its own appointed, fully qualified Coaches who will be a members of BEHC. The Coaching set up will be coordinated and overseen by the BEHC Head Coaches but implemented by the appointed age group Coaches under their guidance. Each age group also has an assigned Team Manager to help with any queries you may have within your child's designated age group.
