The Extreme Hockey Dribble Challenge is raising funds to support the extraordinary work of Dementia UK, whilst also supporting the ambition of the College to further develop our indoor hockey program by funding new indoor hockey boards. Our 29 hour challenge will be taking place between 07:30 on Thursday 21 May through to 12:30 on Friday 22 May, with all funds raised being split 50:50.
The challenge will involve dribbling the distance between Framlingham College and the Amstelveen Wagner Stadium in the Netherlands, the location for the Hockey World Cup. This is 648km or 2211 laps of Inskips. During the challenge two balls will be continuously dribbled, representing both the Women's and Men's respective journey's to the World Cup.
Anyone can dribble a lap (or more!) and we welcome pupils, parents, staff and OF's to take part. There will be a pizza van and coffee shop stall available on Thursday evening alongside a series of fun games to play on Inskips. Whilst the challenge is open to the wider College community, only 1st XI players from the College will be invited to participate in the overnight session.
Developing Indoor Hockey
Maintaining our position at the forefront of schools' hockey, will only happen if we are able to attract high class coaches, recruit pupils with an ambition in the sport and crucially maintain a high standard of hockey facilities.
The recent upgrades to Inskips has been hugely beneficial to our pupils at both the prep and senior schools, and as part of our broader hockey program at Framlingham we are now looking to develop our indoor facilities. Investing in our indoor facilities, will not only develop our pupils indoor hockey skills, which in turn will benefit their outdoor 'game', it will also enable Framlingham to broaden our hockey program, host regional tournaments and reinforce our standing as a leading hockey destination.
