As we continue to grow our indoor hockey provision, we are delighted to launch our 2024/25 Junior Indoor Hockey programme.
Last season we fielded U10, U12 and U14 teams in the UK Indoor Championships at K2 in Crawley and U16 teams and U18 teams in the London Indoor Championships. We plan to enter a number of competitions again this season and these training programmes will serve as an excellent platform to develop our Juniors’ skills and to improve our team performances in indoor competitions.
We are delighted to announce that Miguel Rahla will be our Lead Junior Indoor Coach for this season. Miguel has over 100 caps for Portugal and has represented his country in numerous Indoor European Championships, his expertise in indoor hockey is phenomenal and we’re thrilled he’s chosen to join the OCs coaching team.
Training blocks
Open to all players in the age group, training will run in blocks of 5 or 6 sessions (depending on the age group) and is an additional option to membership, working out at £12 a session.
Training venues
We are running Junior indoor training across two venues:
Esher High – U10 and U12 sessions
Esher High sports hall is well set up for indoor hockey and an ideal venue for our younger age groups. Please note, the U12 boys and girls sessions alternate weeks to allow more players to participate. These sessions start in September.
Epsom College – U14 sessions
Epsom College has international standard indoor hockey facilities which will be of huge benefit to our older juniors, who will be starting to learn more advanced technical and tactical elements of the indoor game. The U14 sessions start in September.
