This mini hockey-fitness session covers all the bases, from warm up to cool down, and can easily be incorporated into your weekly training session or coached in its own right.
What's in the session?
In this tiring session we work on your players' Speed Endurance and their Cardiovascular Endurance- designed to get your players in peak physical condition for the start of the season!
Don't drop the fitness - keep testing your players, improving their physical condition and pushing them hard as you aim to get them match ready for their first games of the year!
The first weeks of the season decide whether a junior or new player sticks with adult hockey. Here is how to keep them safe, give them a clear job and build their confidence from the very first bully.
Most tackles are lost before the stick goes down. Teach your defenders to channel, wait and choose the right tackle, and you will win more ball and give away fewer cards.
England Hockey's rule guidance for 2026/27 takes effect from 1 September. Here are the changes that will actually alter how you coach, and how to brief your squad in one pre-season session.
