England Hockey Talent Centres
Posted by Peter Kempe on 28 July 2021
England Hockey has received over 120 expressions of interest from clubs across the country who would like to be accredited as Talent Centres as part of the new England Hockey Talent Development Strategy https://www.englandhockey.co.uk/play/future-talent-strategy
This is four times the number of places available in year one.
We are therefore delighted to be able to report that Old Loughtonians Hockey Club has been offered a place in the first accreditation window which opens in September this year.
A committee of coaches and other volunteers started work earlier this year to prepare for accreditation and the club is well placed to be able to demonstrate that it meets the accreditation requirements. The club already has Clubmark status and can also already show how it shares the EH vision both for Talent Centres and Talent Academies.
There is of course more work to do but it is a great credit to everyone working directly with players and behind the scenes at the club that we have been selected in the first wave of clubs.
