Who These Sessions Are For
These sessions are ideal for Primary School players who want to improve their hockey faster than school and club training alone allows.
They are particularly valuable for players who:
• want more confidence on the ball during matches
• want to improve their skills more quickly
• enjoy hockey and want extra time developing their game
Players get far more touches on the ball, feedback from coaches and focused skill practice than most team sessions allow.
What Players Improve
Ball Control Under Pressure
Players become comfortable controlling the ball even when opponents are closing in.
Cleaner First Touch
Receive the ball smoothly and move it quickly before defenders arrive.
More Accurate Passing
Develop reliable passing and better decisions on the ball.
Confidence In Matches
Players become more comfortable receiving the ball and contributing in games.
Available Sessions
Most players attend weekly sessions during the school year.

My 11 year old thoroughly enjoyed these weekly one hour skills based sessions. Thanks to all the team. Instructor to child ratios were high and my daughter benefited greatly from the sessions. I would highly recommend David and all his team. We will be back. Thank you!
