U15 Extension Programme Module 1
U15 Extension Programme Module 1
After the record number of participants within our Under 13 Extension Programmes in 2022, Canterbury Hockey is excited that momentum can be continued with another memorable programme in 2023. A similar format will be followed this year with the extension programme being delivered in two modules once again, both delivered as standalone events. (Please note – each module will have a separate registration process.)
Module 1 will take place during the July school holidays over a three-day period. The module will include a mixture of skill development and game play. Participants will be exposed to high-quality coaching to develop targeted technical and tactical principles that will benefit their long-term development. For the game play element, players will be assigned to teams to partake in a hockey 5’s festival.
Module 2 will be delivered during August/September. This module will incorporate several weekly training sessions focusing on skill and tactical development. Participants will be allocated to teams, that will participate in a South Island Festival event in the first week of October.
