Founded by England Hockey Performance Centre Head Coach David Grammer, the Hockey Coaching Academy is an inspiring environment for children to develop their sporting ability in a safe, friendly and fun but challenging environment. Our qualified hockey coaches specialise in working with children to develop their individual skills, fitness, technical and tactical awareness, match play and teamwork. They look to develop players through a combinations of technical, skills based and game sense training which is designed to support players at all levels.
The Hockey Coaching Academy runs Hockey Camps in the school holidays, which are aimed at all levels of children aged 8 – 18. Our camps are suitable for Beginners who have limited hockey experience, Intermediate players who play at Club or County and Advanced players who train at Talent Academy, Regional level and beyond. There are usually specific sessions designed for goalkeepers. Please note that we do not have a facility to provide kit for goal keepers as due to the very specific individual requirements of goal keeping kit it is expected that goal keepers will have their own kit, or will have access to club or school kit that they are comfortable in using.
Private 1-2-1 sessions are often available at our Camps. Please book these at the time of booking onto our camps.
As well as structured group coaching we make sure each child receives the individual guidance and tuition they need to progress. Our guest coaches include experienced national league and international coaches and players.
Alongside player coaching we run hockey coaching courses to help develop teachers and club coaches of all levels.
