Participation in our Hockey Academy is open to all students that have played hockey at School, club, county, Talent centres and junior internationals who are interested in improving their Hockey skills and abilities, while gaining further academic qualifications by studying a variety of academic programmes.

Progress, opportunities & what will I learn?

Each student’s hockey coaching & training programme will be managed individually, enabling you to maximise your academic study and hockey playing potential. The programme enables you to combine daily hockey coaching sessions with your academic studies. The player focused programme will encourage you to improve as an individual and as a team player; to develop your game knowledge, (with opportunities to go to England Colleges trials), compete against other colleges while, equally importantly, completing an appropriate academic course of study.

What do I need?

• Hockey knowledge from school, club, county or elite level.

• The required number of GCSEs or equivalent qualifications for the relevant academic course.
