London Hockey Talent Pathway 

London Hockey is responsible for the first two levels of the Talent Pathway for players aged U13 - U17 in the Greater London area. Development Centres (DCs) are the first level of the Talent Pathway. Players are nominated by their club or school to attend centres across London for a series of training sessions over the summer period, where they receive coaching in core skills and match play following EH guidelines. Following these sessions, some players will be selected for further assessment for the Academy Centres. 

The London Training Squads are the second level. Two squads per age group and gender will be run, one in the north and one in the south of the Area. Training will be held at different venues across London and will run from October/November to March on Sunday priority dates in the EH Centralised Calendar, plus some Friday evenings. A representative match squad will then be selected to play a series of matches in a South Counties Tournament. 

More information can be found here, or contact our junior coaches to discuss further.
