Masters Masterclass Summer 2026

Modern coaching often leans towards game-based scenarios, with less emphasis on individual technical feedback. While valuable, this can leave gaps, especially for adult players who want to keep improving.

As Michael Jordan put it:
“If technical frailties aren’t corrected, you get very good at being bad.”

This day is designed to do exactly that, giving both outfield players and goalkeepers the individual attention needed to refine their game.

We’ll focus entirely on you, working through four key technical areas while keeping the session enjoyable and engaging:

Areas of development:

• Elimination
• Defending
• Goal scoring
• Mobility and movement

Expect a day that blends high-quality coaching with a great atmosphere:

• Expert, personalised coaching
• A Q&A session over lunch
• Afternoon gameplay to apply what you’ve learned

Whether you’re looking to sharpen specific skills or elevate your overall performance, whatever your level, we’d love to be part of your hockey journey.

Coaches include:

Nick Thompson – Olympian (196 Eng/GB caps)
James Albery – Olympian, Current GB & England Player
Jo Ellis (Thompson) – Olympian (124 Eng/GB caps)
