Junior members are encouraged develop their hockey skills by attending the regular coaching sessions available. Our Junior Club Coach will ensure that players get the opportunity to play in competitive matches - at junior level and when old enough at senior level too. Where appropriate, junior members will be encouraged to join England Hockey’s Player Pathway which offers players the opportunity to realise their potential and perhaps go on to represent England.

We use England Hockey's player development model as a guide to encourage development of players.

The Player Development Model has been established to represent the hockey landscape and the hockey playing population into nine segments that position the player at the heart of hockey.

It shows how people enter, develop within and through, and interact with the sport, based on the needs and motivations of players. The emphasis is on providing great experiences and exceptional environments for players to be successful and stay in the sport.
