November 2011 - registrations are now closed for this programme
Please enroll in programmes for 2012 as they become available
April U13, U15, U18 Tap Sessions
See Flyer below
The TAP has been developed to allow flexibility for the Hockey Department to address problem areas and age group players. It is a specialist skills development program that will be designed on an annual basis against the previous years review and continually added to during the year. It will be camp based, session based and training block based depending on training window opportunities available against the targeted age group and targeted development area.
The focus of this program is to address targeted areas of deficiency or priority proficiency. In many respects it replaces the previous Academy program of the last couple of years.
