EH Talent Development - A New Way Forward - Parent/Guardian update

‘To parents and guardians of children involved in hockey in England

Hello,
We recognise the invaluable support that parents and guardians provide to young players to enable them to play, enjoy and progress in hockey. We also know that you need clear and timely communication to be able to make the best decisions with and for your children. With this in mind, we’ve created a video which we hope you find useful.
You may be aware that, the Talent Team at England Hockey have been exploring and developing a new Talent System with the aim of providing more opportunities for young hockey players to access high quality talent development environments. Throughout this process, England Hockey have engaged with a wide range of stakeholder and you can find previous communications and resources here.

In the video Heather Williams, Head of Elite Talent Development, and England Hockey Lead Talent Coaches, Lisa Letchford and Mark Bateman discuss these exciting plans for hockey talent development in England, and what this means for young players with potential and aspirations to progress to a high level in hockey.

We’ve also attached a document to introduce our Right Athlete, Right Environment (RARE) principles which provides context, guidance and assessment questions for players, parents, and guardians to consider when evaluating the best hockey environments at each stage of a player’s development.

For those of you with players currently involved in the Player Pathway, please continue to look out for communications from the Player Pathway Team on upcoming activities which will run in conjunction with the first stage of introduction of the new system.

Wishing you all the best,
England Hockey Talent Team’
