Amy Hull is the dedicated Welfare Officer for the junior section. If you have any concerns regarding welfare or safeguarding, please contact Amy here.

Alternatively, you can contact Tracey Shelley, the club Welfare Officer, at the same email address or on 07970 806983.

Kit
Details of the playing kit can be found here.

To start with, we can provide a stick but trainers, shin pads and a mouthguard are the essentials.

Astro turf trainers are advisable, we do not allow members to wear football blades.

There is no need to buy specific Holcombe kit straight away just come along and we can get you started.

We have a kit swap scheme which runs where players can recycle their old kit by donating for other players to use.
