Coached by NSB rep coaches, the program focusses on several key areas:

  • Indoor-specific skills such as the 'set', passing and receiving, etc.

FAQs

Can U11s do U13 reps?
Priority for reps is given to players already in that age group, but U11 players are occassionally invited if numbers of players in the U13s don't fully support a team. Unless this circumstances arises we do not accept nominations of U11 players.

Does it really matter which session I do?
If you can't make the most appropriate one, you can still do the other one. The content is basically the saame, it is just that the match-play will be relatively easy or difficult for the players.

What if I can't attend all sessions?
That's OK, but you must book and pay the full fee.

Do I need a uniform?
No! Come in your Club, NSB or casual kit.

Do I need special equipment?
You must have shin pads and a moputh guard. Indoor hockey uses a slightly different stick, which is thinner and easier to use. We normally can supply some spare sticks to those who do not have them. At worst case a field stick can be used.
