Hockey Camps at King's
Our popular hockey camps run throughout the year during the school holidays. Over time, this provision has developed and new camps have become established.
As well as offering general camps, open to all abilities, we also have very specific days aimed at those with a passion for hockey and who are committed and willing to work hard to develop as a player.
Our Emerging Player Performance and our Aspire camps are aimed at the more experienced players who are already on, or who wish to progress onto the England Hockey Player Pathway. These camps are limited and by application only.
