Training to learn and explore the game. Athletes will learn the foundational principles of attack and defence in a 6 week programme.
Purpose
The academy will be 6 training blocks designed for players with the capability and aspiration to develop their own hockey skill for 2025. We are encouraging and supporting players participating in summer sports and will work around those other commitments to ensure individuals can manage both and can form an appropriate weekly training schedule.
Focus
