What is the Barcelona Hockey Camp?
The perfect summer getaway!
Seize the opportunity to play hockey at one of the most beautiful field hockey clubs in the world! Our Barcelona Hockey Camp is the perfect balance between a challenging and intensive field hockey camp and the ultimate summer getaway. With challenging clinics and tactical sessions you will work on your hockey skills, while in between you relax with a siesta by the pool or a game of padel on the padel courts.
With over 5 hours of hockey a day, you will boost your skills. You will train various field hockey styles: think of the German Defensive Style, Spanish Attacking Precision and of course the Dutch Creativity. The camp is a special training experience to raise your field hockey level!
THE HOCKEY PROGRAMME
Vamos a jugar hockey
Demos and clinics are standard parts of a camp day. Several clinics start with a demo, where staff and (inter)national top hockey players show their skills. Then it's your turn! With challenging, innovative exercises you will work on boosting your hockey skills. In between you will play rounds of the 5's tournament, to compete with your team for that coveted first place.
Spanish fiesta
In addition to the hockey program, our staff prepares fantastic games. Every day we interrupt the program according to good Spanish customs with a siesta. Dive into the pool, play a game of padel or take a nap. With the whole camp we will go out for two days: one day relaxing at the beach and one day exploring the city. In the evening we celebrate with a pool party, and we end the week with a wonderful final party. At night, after a busy day, you will crawl into your sleeping bag in the club's big, cool sports hall to start fresh tomorrow!
