Let's Play Hockey

About Us

Welcome to West Panthers Hockey!

We at West Panthers Hockey are passionate about fostering the love for hockey within our community. Our mission is to provide exceptional opportunities for young athletes to develop their skills, build camaraderie, and experience the thrill of competition in a supportive and nurturing environment.

Our Programmes

Regional Playing Sides: We are proud to offer regional playing sides that compete in the annual prestigious tournament, the UK U13 Nottingham Festival. Our teams are composed of talented young players who are selected through a rigorous process, ensuring they represent the best of our region. Representing the West Panthers provide invaluable experience and exposure, helping our athletes grow both on and off the field.

The Mercia Cup: Our commitment to excellence extends to our participation in the Mercia Cup. This competitive platform allows our U12 and existing U14 players to showcase their skills, teamwork, and sportspersonship. Competing in the Mercia Cup not only enhances their abilities but also instils a sense of pride and accomplishment as they represent the West Panthers.

Holiday Fun Camps: Understanding the importance of fun and development, we organise engaging holiday camps that cater to 8 - 13 year old hockey enthusiasts of all skill levels. Our camps are designed to provide a balance of training, games, and enjoyable activities, ensuring that every participant leaves with improved skills and cherished memories. Our experienced coaches are dedicated to creating a positive and inclusive atmosphere where every child feels valued and inspired.
