Year 7&8 Academy - Register Here


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

Technical and tactical growth aligned to long-term development. Each week will include a combination of skills, combative and match play.  The programme will be led by Hockey Wairarapa staff, accessing our best local people to provide an impactful development experience for players.
