About usJolly Hockey Tots was established in 2012.
We are sure that you and your child will love our sessions.
We feel that physical education is an integral part of every child's life and all children should be introduced to such activity at an early age. We look forward to welcoming all existing and new children to our Jolly Hockey Tots classes.
