A Walking Hockey programme has many benefits, some apparent at the start, some emerging as you go through the sessions. These will be different at each club. Here are a few to get you started.

• People join or come back to the hockey family when they otherwise would not have
• The whole group builds a social and friendly environment through Walking Hockey
• People who were lonely now have new friendships
• People have fun
• The club increases its membership pool
• Some of the participants may now return to other forms of hockey
• Public awareness of hockey is spread much wider via Walking Hockey
• Those taking part are getting exercise which will help them.
• Positive Public Relations for the club
• A low cost / flexible payment membership option for the Walking Hockey participants can be developed.
• Financial benefits will vary club by club. Our aim is to make Walking Hockey self funding and cover the cost of any equipment we may need to purchase.
