OUR VISION

 

"[H]asn't changed since we started in 2009; we offer young Wellington hockey players the chance to 'UPSKILL' their hockey ability by training in a fun learning environment.  We provide elite level coaching to every level of player."

 

OUR METHOD

 

"We remain committed to providing coaching in small groups with a high ratio of coaches to players.  This gives players the benefit of individual instruction and feedback as well as ample opportunity to improve their skills through performance."

 

"We teach through effective and innovative techniques that players enjoy. We pride ourselves on giving our players the best coaching no matter their level of ability."

 

OUR COACHES

 

"Where possible, our coaches are Blacksticks, Junior Blacksticks and representative players all with a high level of coaching experience.  I have extensive coaching experience, including previously presenting at Hockey NZ coaching courses. Most recently I coached at the highest provincial level in the country (NHC), along with leading the Hutt men to the P1 title.
