Throughout the year, we found that a one day Performance Camp was simply not enough time to work with such capable players. This is why we have extended the Performance Camps to two days with a range of dates over the summer.

The Classic camps also include the Bluesticks Award, a unique skills test designed to measure individual skills of all players. This has been modified for 2015 to include Junior, Intermediate and Senior level awards.

The team of coaches has expanded further and includes a number of International and Premier League players. The summer saw John Jackson (Captain of Ireland), Tom Carson (England & GB), Simon Mantell (England & GB), Dan Shingles(England &GB) Jo Ellis (England & GB) & Leah Wilkinson (Wales), to name but a few, coaching on the camps and passing on their invaluable experience.

The email contact for the camps is camps@readinghockeyclub.org.uk, where you can contact Andy Watts who both directs and coaches on our camps programme. Please also follow us on Twitter @ReadingHCCamps

FAQS

What do I need to bring with me?
