England Hockey Expands its Talent Centre Network

England Hockey are delighted to announce the clubs that are part of the fourth cohort working towards Talent Centre accreditation commencing in September 2024.  

Talent Centre accreditation aims to recognise those clubs that can provide exceptional early talent development environments, building exceptional hockey basics and an understanding of the game through enjoyable experiences.   

Clubs were invited to express their interest to undertake the accreditation process to become a Talent Centre in April 2024. 

After a positive response to the campaign, each club was considered against a set of principles, and England Hockey has offered 18 clubs the opportunity to work towards Talent Centre accreditation. 

England Hockey recognise that many other clubs deliver good quality junior sessions across the breadth of the country and more of these clubs will have the opportunity to gain Talent Centre accreditation over the coming years. 

The clubs starting the Talent Centre accreditation process in September 2024 are:
