This week, we concluded another successful Summer Development Programme, and we’re thrilled to share that it saw record participation once again! The programme continues to grow in popularity as a key lead-in to the hockey season.
A special highlight this year was the inclusion of our U14 players for the first time, expanding opportunities for younger athletes to develop their skills and prepare for the season ahead. Thank you to all players, coaches, and parents who made this programme such a success—we can’t wait to build on it next year!
