The Exsportise Field Hockey Summer Camp is without doubt the most trusted and respected residential field hockey training camp for juniors in the UK.
Exsportise has its roots thoroughly entrenched in hockey, having been started by Olympic Hockey gold medalist Steve Batchelor and Internationally acclaimed Hockey coach Bram van Asselt. Under the expert guidance of Bram (author of various high level/international coaching books and videos) and his team of top coaches and international players, Exsportise Field Hockey camps offer individuals and teams a fantastic opportunity for building squad tactics, team bonding and pre-season training.
The summer field hockey camp course offers between 15 and 30 hours of intensive hockey coaching a week (depending on whether you choose Academy or MultiSport), catering for all levels of play from beginner to advanced level.
Exsportise Academy Hockey Summer Camps are for field hockey players who wish to improve their individual skills and knowledge of the game whilst experiencing the Exsportise camp atmosphere. If you are attending an Exsportise Camp as an individual, with a group of friends or as a member of a team, each player is challenged in an age and ability appropriate program. Exsportise has conducted summer field hockey camps for over 20 years and has customized its program to meet the needs of the individual and the team. The course is a five -day camp for players from the ages of 10 - 16.
The field hockey camp is organized into four sections - Beginner, Intermediate, advanced and elite (our master class academy - minimum county standard required).
Beginner, Intermediate & Advanced Hockey Camp Programmes
Beginners start with technical training with "quick feet", ball control and skills, progressing to the basics of team play and tactics with emphasis on creativity and playing under pressure.
The Intermediate player will refine their technical training, specifically 1 v 1 skills and ball possession, while learning combination play, small group tactics and team play. Players also learn about fitness training, nutrition and game preparation.
The advanced Hockey Camp programme is for players who require a greater challenge. Whilst continuing to improve technical skills and tactical knowledge, Exsportise Pure Hockey also teaches the player his or her functional position and more advanced concepts of team play.
At the end of the week, groups will play matches against other teams of similar ability. Parents are invited (and encouraged) to come and watch.
