WHAT IS THE PLAYER PATHWAY?

The Player Pathway is the County Hockey Programme within the Talent System. It provides an environment that helps all junior players realise their potential.

The Player Pathway recognises that all players develop at different stages and ages. Placing flexibility within its process to ensure the ‘right’ player is in the ‘right’ environment for the majority of their contact time, whatever their level may be.

Once you are in The Player Pathway you will receive coaching opportunities each year relative to your development needs and ability. 

It is hoped that by the end you will have developed and enjoyed your Hockey and that it’s been tailored to your needs along the way.

Derbyshire Hockey Development Centres are the first step towards reaching the very top. They are the foundation and the entry point towards further representative hockey opportunities within the system.
