 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

More information about Spotters Hockey

✅ 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.

✅ We now have workshops for players, focussing on goal scoring, defensive play and elimination skills for those aged 9-14.
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
