Hockey is a great sport for children, developing their physical and mental wellbeing as well as social skills. It’s a fun, safe and exciting sport for all and can be played on various surfaces, not just grass! Xcite Coaching hockey introduces children to the fundaments of the sport such as passing, and shooting through fun games and activities.

Skills 1
Our first Xcite Hockey coaching sessions introduces the children to the fundamental skills of the sport, i.e. how to use the equipment, co-ordination, balance, agility, strength, endurance and learning about the game itself. All activities are designed to maximise fun and enjoyment throughout.
Skills 2
For the next stage, our coaches will focus on developing the expertise your child learnt in Skills 1 and focus on more technical areas such as control, dribbling, passing, improving speed and agility. The performing of the skills is more important at this stage than competition with others. Your child will be allowed to develop their skills in their own time
Skills 3
Our final stage in Xcite hockey coaching will focus on understanding the rules of play and skills and drills for playing games of hockey as a team. All skills will be continued to be worked on, to make sure your child is confident in their own abilities and nurture a love of hockey. Their fundamental and advanced skills will come together in fun activities where they can demonstrate their knowledge and competency with a hockey stick!
