✅ We have many levels of coaching available offering sessions throughout the year, both in term time and during the holidays. Whatever level suits your young hockey player, from ages 7-18 we will be able to provide a coaching environment that will enhance player performance whilst maximising engagement through fun and enjoyment.
✅ We start at age 7 (but can extend to age 6 if appropriate - please ask!) and broadly group by age but are flexible to also allow players to join groups appropriate to ability. For this set of events players aged 6-8 will be catered for within the workshop programme where sufficient numbers apply.
✅ When we run our Main camps (generally Easter and Summer holidays), we have camps for Beginners and Improvers (ages 6/7-10), Developers and Emerging Performers (ages 11-12)and Performers looking to progress (ages 12-16) and players looking to work at stretch with the aim to play ay high level (aged 13/14-18) - our HPC.
✅ our cohorts explained
Beginners & Improvers (Ages 7–10)
Perfect for players taking their first steps in hockey or building on the basics. These sessions focus on developing core skills such as dribbling, passing, tackling, and teamwork in a fun, supportive environment. Players will grow in confidence and enjoy plenty of game play to put new skills into action.
Developers & Emerging Performers (Ages 10-12)
Ideal for players who have a solid grasp of the fundamentals and are ready to refine their technique. This level introduces more tactical awareness, advanced stick skills, and small-sided match play to help players make good decisions under pressure. Coaches challenge players to think creatively and play with purpose.
Performers (Ages 12-14)
For committed players aiming to elevate their game to the next level. Training focuses on advanced technical skills, positional understanding, and match strategies, with plenty of high-tempo drills and scenario-based sessions - outfield players and specialised GK coaching
✅ We now have workshops for players, focussing on goal scoring, defensive play and elimination skills for those aged 9-15.
Those playing at JAC level and the new EHB Talent Academy, or aspiring to that level (ages 12-16) will receive performance coaching and athlete development to aid progression. Those looking to progress at Talent Academy level should attend our HPC.
✅ Players will work in small groups to maximise touches of the ball and whilst we broadly group by age we are open to movement between coaching cohorts based on ability.
🏑 Players will need a hockey stick, shin pads and a gum shield to participate, a left hand glove is also a good idea but not essential (although at higher levels is likely to be).
Please bring a still drink and snacks/packed lunch as necessary to suit the time booked.
✅ Coaching will go ahead in most weathers so please send your young player in clothing to suit the weather at the time of the sessions your young player is attending
