Hockey in South Yorkshire
South Yorkshire Sport and the South Yorkshire Hockey Development Group are working in conjunction with junior hockey clubs, to co-ordinate hockey delivery in South Yorkshire. Their main work areas cover local schemes, club development, talent identification and talent development.
Local Schemes
Local schemes, run by clubs in partnership with their local schools, aim to set and engage the foundations of hockey development. Schools in South Yorkshire are working with specific hockey clubs during this with the aim of ongoing progression and development.
If you are a school who are interested in receiving hockey coaching in curriculum time the South Yorkshire Hockey Development Group have a number of qualified, insured and CRB checked coaches available to do delivery.

Talent Identification
Talent identification activity in South Yorkshire takes place each season and allows club and school players to be identified and invited to a local assessment programme held at one of the club venues. The assessment consists of two days (at least five hours) of coaching and game play, allowing external assessors to select the players to be fed into Stage Four.
Talent Development
From the talent identification assessments, approximately thirty players at each age group will be invited to attend four hockey development sessions, where they will receive high quality coaching.
Players will learn elements of game play; develop improved tactical awareness, attend sports science and nutrition workshops, and be given advice on development as a team player. There will be ongoing assessments during these sessions, with the coaches picking the final sixteen players from the development centres, so creating the Partnership Squad.
The Partnership Squads will receive an extra 4 hours training before they go and represent South Yorkshire at competition. Regional selectors will be attending these competitions to identify talented players to continue through the England Hockey player pathway.
