Which camp is right for me?
Development Camp (2 days)
For all abilities, developing strong technicals to support your development, with lots of gameplay
Performance Development Camp (2 days)
For County players U13-U16 - supporting you in making the transition into Performance level hockey
Elite Camp (1 day)
For current Talent Academy Players and those aspiring to play at that level, U14 (Yr 8) and above. Players will be stretched technically, tactically, physically and mentally, working directly with Oxford Hawks Talent Academy Head Coach and Mens 1st team coach, Drew Blackburn. Players receive personal development feedback graphic within 14 days post-camp
Note: Elite Camp is limited to 12 spaces and by application only, if not currently within a TA. If you have not previously booked an Elite Camp and are not within a TA, we recommend booking the Performance Development Camp initially, so that the team can see your level to determine suitability for the Elite Camp. If you book onto the Elite Camp and the team need to see you in person first, we will notify you and amend your booking to a Performance Development Camp booking
GK Day (1 day)
On GK day, there is specialist GK training (subject to a minimum 5 GKs booking on). On other days, there is not specialist goalie coaching, but our exercises are designed to include goalies and help you develop your game, playing against the outfielders on camp
