Once a week Swindon Wildcats offer a Learn to Play programme for children 4 - 16 years of age. This season 2011/2012 we have about 80 children attending the programme every Friday night.

Many children come along because they have previously taken part in one of our school programmes. In the Rookies session they are taught the basic skills of ice hockey. Once they are progressed enough from there they can join the Junior Academy teams, U10, U12, U14, U16 or U18.

The children are kitted out with helmets gloves and sticks and will get to learn Ice Hockey from some of the Wildcats professional players and coaching staff.

Come along for your first free session on a Friday at 6.15 pm,or contact  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , for more information.We look forward to seeing you!!!

As well as a Learn To Play session for the U18's, the community has also come together to form an Adult Learn To Play session that caters for all abilities. The session runs on Thursday evenings from 7:45-8:45 and is there for all over 18's who want to try the ever expanding sport of ice hockey. Helmets, gloves,skates and sticks can all be provided and are the available for participants who may be unsure but would like to take to the ice for a session. The hour long session costs £10 and is undertaken by a professional standard coach who will players of all abilities improve on their on-ice performances.
