The Training Lab: Field Hockey Skill Academy
This 6-part skill development clinic is designed to help players improve the technical execution, understanding, and application of essential field hockey skills in a structured and engaging environment.
Each 2-hour session will focus on five core areas of the game:
- Elimination skills
- Defensive skills
- Releasing skills
- Receiving skills
- Goal-scoring skills
Players will learn the key technical details behind each skill, including body positioning, grip management, footwork, timing, and decision-making, while participating in high-quality repetitions and game-like activities designed to build confidence and execution during play.
In addition to player development, this clinic also provides a unique coach education opportunity. Coaches will learn how to effectively teach and deliver technical skills, identify common technical errors, provide meaningful corrections, and manage skill progression during training sessions. Coaches will also have opportunities to practice skill delivery and coaching feedback with players throughout each session.
By the end of the program, both players and coaches will leave with a stronger technical foundation, improved understanding of skill development, and practical tools to support long-term success in the sport.
