This program is perfect for aspiring players with limited experience, providing a comprehensive and accelerated learning environment.

It simulates real-game scenarios and builds players' confidence and skills in a supportive and engaging atmosphere.​

Academy
For athletes looking to improve their fundamental technique in field hockey, a comprehensive training program should focus on skills development, drills, and scrimmaging. Drills can help hone specific skills such as ball control, stickhandling, passing, receiving, and shooting, while scrimmaging allows players to apply these skills in game-like situations. A well-structured training plan should include a mix of individual and small-group drills to target specific areas of improvement, as well as full-field scrimmages to simulate game conditions. Additionally, incorporating goalkeeping drills and small-sided games can also help players develop their tactical awareness and decision-making skills.
