Manchester RHC will open a second junior training night from September after a season of full Saturday sessions at Ardwick Sports Centre.

The new Wednesday session runs from 18:30 to 20:00 for players in the under 13 to under 17 age groups, leaving the Saturday Skate and Hockey School clear for beginners and the youngest skaters. Club coaches say the change means every junior gets more time on the ball each week.

The growth in Manchester follows a pattern across the association, with junior registrations up for the fourth season running. Clubs considering an extra session can talk to the development team about coach cover and hall costs.

Full training times are on the Manchester RHC club page.
