With London 2012 now well underway, Waltham Forest Hockey Club is offering people the chance to try out an Olympic sport for free.

The Coppermill Lane club will be holding coaching sessions as part of Great Britain Hockey’s ‘Give it a Go’ programme.

Waltham Forest are currently holding classes every evening from 7pm to 8pm for young people and adults throughout the next five weeks, as it looks to build a sustainable legacy from the 2012 Olympic Games.

Matt Lovell, of Waltham Forest Hockey Club said: "The Olympic Games will be an incredibly exciting and inspirational time for the entire nation; we are proud to be a part of the Give it a Go programme and look forward to welcoming newcomers to our club, to pick up a hockey stick and enjoy the sport with their family and friends."
