Further Education Programme

6-16 years old

Developed for players aged 6 -16 years of age and all abilities, the FE programme is a development route to our High Performance Hockey (HPH) programme. Students will learn modern game skills through repetition of specific exercises and drills. These drills are designed to benefit players of all levels who are committed to their development and looking for something to supplement their club hockey programme.

Our aim is to create a safe environment in which learning the game is fun, focused and structured. Our coaches will structure sessions to develop the athlete’s skills and begin to expose them to areas of practice that they may not experience with their clubs. The focus is to accelerate the athlete’s development and to enhance their learning of the game within a challenging and competitive environment.
