“I joined Hockey Mentors as a goalkeeper two years ago and my journey with them has been amazing! Every session, camp, match or tournament has been a successful learning adventure. I have gained a deeper understanding of goalkeeping, from positioning to reflexes. I have been advised on maintaining focus during high-pressure situations and strategies for effective communication with teammates. I have had plenty of opportunities to train at great sports venues across the country and play indoor and outdoor against top teams. Moreover, being part of Hockey Mentors has connected me with some talented and gifted boys and girls who share my love for hockey. I’m always happy to see familiar faces at any hockey event I attend across the country.”

“Hockey Mentors is an amazing programme which supports players to grow in an inclusive environment with great coaching and games. The camps are so much fun because you can improve as a player while doing drills that are unique and exciting. At camps you experience both on and off pitch sessions – the off pitch sessions are usually around team culture or personal development which everyone can find very useful, and the on pitch sessions are times to play at a high intensity and learn new skills improve with amazing coaches. This has helped me to improve technically and I have found it super helpful! The matches are great opportunities to play with other players from state schools around the country and make friends, as well benefit from great high-quality coaching!”
