Introducing Hampshire Game Changers: A New Talent Development Initiative for Young Hockey Players
Hampshire Hockey is excited to announce the launch of "Hampshire Game Changers," a pilot program designed to identify and nurture young talent across the county.
Targeting players in the U9, U10, and U11 age groups, this initiative offers a unique environment for skill development ahead of entry into the county system at U13.
The programme comprises four 90-minute sessions, scheduled on April 26, May 3, May 10, and May 17, 2025. Each session focuses on refining core skills and introducing advanced techniques within game scenarios. Participants will benefit from coaching by experienced, active Hampshire Player Pathway coaches.
Clubs are invited to nominate up to three players per age group and gender. Additionally, each club is expected to send a coach to participate in the sessions, fostering continuity in player development. The cost is £40 per player for all four sessions, which includes a t-shirt.
This pilot program aims to provide a neutral setting where promising young players can enhance their skills outside the regular club season. As it evolves, feedback from participants will be integral to its development.
