What are Elite Prep Hockey Camps?
Are you up for a challenge?
We set the bar high at our Elite Hockey Camp and expect the same from you as a participant. This intensive camp is focused on getting even better, so you can reach your hockey goals.
You will train over 5 hours per day with other internationals to improve your ability, mental resilience and ball handling. Besides the hours on the pitch, you will work on workshops, tactical sessions and different specialties. Time to bring out the very best in yourself!
THE HOCKEY PROGRAMME
Intensive hockey training
The whole program revolves around hockey. You will have several (specialty) clinics every day, some of which are combined with the goalie programme. Throughout the week you also get several workshops, where we work on topics such as vision & grip, basic stance and body posture. Of course we close each day with a round of the 5's tournament.
When you're not playing hockey
In addition to the field hockey program, our staff prepares some fantastic games throughout the week. During one part of the day you will crawl, dive and climb through the Amsterdam woods during the coolest survival ever, which you will end with our famous pizza party. At the end of the day, you crawl into your sleeping bag in one of our tents and literally fall asleep next to the hockey pitch, where tomorrow, you have another full day ahead of you.
