Edinburgh Hockey Club has a flourishing Youth section comprising both boys and girls between the ages of 5 and 18. Edinburgh Hockey Club is very much focused on developing youngsters for the future as can be seen from the number of youngsters in all our teams in the club.
Our Youth players have enjoyed success at both District and National level with many of the squad representing East District and Scotland at Under 15, 16 and 18 levels. This success can be attributed to the excellent skills coaching and support given to all of our Youth members. The success of Youth development at EHC is best demonstrated by the fact that the Under 18 girl's team have been Scottish Cup Winners for 8 of the last 10 years.
With over 150 Members of the Youth section the future of hockey is looking good. The emphasis is on developing a solid base of basic skills rather than complex tactics with the focus on enjoying the game. This allows players of all ages and abilities to develop the skills required to participate in hockey games and to enjoy the experience to the full. |
