St Albans Flyerz is a disability project which aims to make hockey available to all via inclusive sessions, supported by volunteers from SAHC.

Story so far:
Week-day, term-time based successful sessions were originally trialled with Oaklands College Landmark and Springfield Supported Learning and Internship programmes in June 2015. The following season, St Albans Flyerz was established as a permanent section of the club.

The sessions are:

• offered free of charge
• held both in the sports hall and on the Astroturf
• designed to be a relaxed and fun introduction to the game
• adapted to use modified equipment where necessary
• A typical session combines practice and drills and culminates in game-play, which is usually highly competitive!

St Albans Flyerz needs more volunteers to:

• Deliver sessions (no coaching experience necessary)
• Assist with administration and organisation as we grow
• Help with advertising, social media, recruitment and getting the message out!
• Research & develop ideas for equipment modifications
