Age Groups
Please note you should register for your current 2024/25 age group, not the age group you will be going into September. Sometimes our coaching team selects children to train up an age group in the summer term - if this is the case, they will inform you and move you into the relevant age group if timings are suitable.

Coming soon!

This Year’s Programme:

• U8: choose one or two session per week packages
  • All sessions will follow a similar structure and will cover a range of technical skills and small sided gameplay. Our aim for the U8s is to make the sessions as fun as possible while learning at the same time. We want the players to gain confidence in possession of the ball and be able to move with control. 
• U10 - U14: choose one or two session per week packages
  • Midweek Session – A focus on technical development where our coaches will look to help the players learn and improve the skills needed to be an effective hockey player. Sessions will look at core skills such as passing and receiving techniques, hitting on both forehand and reverse stick hitting and others while putting them into a context that is usable in game scenarios.
  • Sunday Gametime – Just game play in a 5v5 situation with input on the positioning both in and out of possession of the ball and encouragement to try out the techniques worked on mid-week.
  • **U14s wishing to attend Top Hockey should select that option rather than the regular U14 sessions**
  • U14s do not have a 'Sunday only' options
• U14 Top Hockey
  • Comprises of alternating pitch sessions and educational sessions (in the clubhouse or on Zoom) plus weeknight age group training sessions.
  • A unique opportunity for U14 players to enrich their hockey and holistic development as an athlete. Combining bespoke technical on-pitch sessions and a range of off-pitch classroom sessions the Top Hockey programme aims to be the leading programme in the country for U14 players to fulfil their complete potential. Open to players of all abilities who want to get better. The Top Hockey programme was first launched in September 2023 with great success in the main season. This bespoke summer offering utilises key insights and learnings from this, focusing on being a game-changer in the on-pitch sessions and key elements of being an all-round athlete in the off-pitch sessions.
