EG Talent Academy

Welcome to the England Hockey Talent Academy for the South-Central region of the South East of England, hosted by East Grinstead Hockey Club.

We are excited to provide young, high-performance hockey athletes training, coaching and competition, designed to play a part in their development towards performing at the highest possible level of our sport. Young players on such a journey will gain experiences at the Talent Academy which will nurture their potential through the “Talent Development” phase of learning, as set out in GB Hockey’s “Player Development Model”.

East Grinstead Hockey Club is proud to have been selected by England Hockey as the first licensed Talent Academy host in the catchment region. One of only a few clubs in the whole country who have teams in both the Ladies Vitality Women’s Hockey League and Men’s Premier Division, we are experienced at working with Elite Level Hockey Players.

Despite East Grinstead HC’s position, the Talent Academy is a resource for our entire catchment area, an additional hockey environment where young hockey players who show desire & potential to play hockey at the highest levels of the game, will come together and receive additional hockey experiences, while maintaining their existing hockey environments at school, club and county hockey.
