Development Centre training is an introduction to county hockey for girls and boys, leading to selection for the 2025-26 Staffordshire county U13, U14, U15 & U17 squads in September.

These sessions are open to current county players and new juniors who want to try out for Staffs County.

What are the minimum/maximum ages for attending DC training?

• From school year 6 to school year 11.

How good at hockey should my child be to attend DC?

• Players should have a good basic skill level for their age group and should be confident in their play.
• DC training is preparation for county-level competition, so more advanced gameplay will be covered, not basic skills.
• New Juniors who perform to a high standard at DC training will be invited to attend county selection trials in September (those players will be notified by email by DC Coaches).
• U13/U14/U15 players who are not quite ready for county trials but are of a suitable standard may be invited to further Development Centre training sessions (dates TBC) to enable them to continue their pathway.
• Any players not ready for DC training will be asked to continue practising hockey at their club / school ready for next year's DC intake.
