EASTER 2026 HOCKEY CAMP (APRIL)

---

Our April Hockey Camp returns with two days of positive, high-energy coaching designed to help players build confidence, develop game understanding, and take the next step in their hockey.

Sessions combine skill development, small-sided games, and match play in a supportive environment where players are challenged appropriately while keeping enjoyment at the centre of learning.

New for April: A small number of goalkeeper places are now available, featuring specialist morning goalkeeper coaching followed by afternoon outfield play.

Sessions are structured so players are appropriately challenged while still feeling supported and included.

Dates: Monday 13th & Tuesday 14th April 2026

Venue: St Hugh's School Astro Pitch

Registration: From 09:30

Camp Time: 10:00 - 16:00

Open To: All players in Years 5 & 6, from any school

Pricing: £60 per day, or £100 for both days.

April camp has now closed.

• Fast-moving sessions designed to maximise involvement and enjoyment
• Activities that build confidence on the ball through regular touches and decision making
• Game-based learning using realistic match situations
• Development of both how to perform skills and when to use them in games
• Small-sided play to encourage creativity, awareness, and teamwork

• Core technical skills (short corners, tomahawks & aerials)
• Decision making through small-sided games
• Match play and game understanding
• Confidence building through active learning

A small number of goalkeeper places are available for this camp.

Goalkeepers will take part in:

• Specialist keeper coaching during the morning
• Position-specific movement, handling, and decision making
• Afternoon outfield play with the main group

Goalkeeper spaces are limited to maintain high coaching quality.

Players will take part in a series of fun skill challenges during the camp, including baseline shooting and the 2-touch challenge.

Points will also be awarded throughout the camp for positive attitude, teamwork, helpfulness, and individual skill development. Scores will contribute to an overall leaderboard, with the overall winner receiving a new Grays JB 6 Composite Hockey Stick.

The competition is designed to reward effort, improvement, and being a great teammate, not just performance alone.

Our coaches provide clear guidance, positive feedback, and encouragement. Players are supported to try new things, learn from mistakes, and feel proud of their effort and improvement.

We create a safe, inclusive, and well-structured environment where every child feels comfortable and supported. Sessions balance challenge with enjoyment so players leave feeling positive, tired, and excited to return.

THG Hockey Camps were originally run for St Hugh’s pupils while we developed and refined the camp structure and coaching programme. Following the success of the camps, they are now open to boys and girls in Years 5 and 6 from any school.

The camps are suitable for players of all abilities who enjoy hockey and want to improve their skills, confidence, and play more matches.

Please note that THG Hockey is not affiliated with St Hugh’s School.

Camp is open to Years 5 & 6.

Year 4 players who regularly train or play with U12 groups at their local club may attend with coach approval. This is to ensure sessions remain safe, appropriate, and fair for all players. Please contact before booking to discuss suitability.

Spaces are limited to maintain small coaching groups and individual support.

Our aim is simple: every player leaves feeling more confident, having enjoyed their hockey and learned something new.
