INFORMATION

England Hockey Board has now been running ‘The Single System’ for developing young players in this country for three years. It is based on scientific research, or the Long Term Athlete Development Programme, which has been widely adopted by other major sports in England

The Single System is a process of delivery with a structured pathway designed to enable, not just junior players, but coaches and officials, to fulfil their potential in an equitable, transparent and consistent manner across the country. It is designed to give equal opportunities and equity in coach delivery whether you live in Middlesex or any other county. It will ensure that suitable levels of coaching and competition are offered at appropriate stages of development to fulfil potential, be it as a club or International player, coach or official.

1. JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT CENTRES (JDCs)

This is the first level designed to deliver the development of core skills above school and club at local training centres for boys and girls aged U13-U17 in any one calendar year. JDC’s are open to players nominated by schools and clubs with either current or potential talent in hockey. Coaching will be delivered to an England Hockey syllabus by qualified coaches and in addition to training there will be competition between local county based JDC s. Following the JDCs players will be nominated by their coaches to attend Junior Academy Centre (JACs) after Christmas. Players who have not been selected for Tier One Junior Regional squads will be able to return to their JDC’s for further coaching if they wish and place are available.

2. JUNIOR ACADEMY CENTRES (JACs)

This is the second step on the England Hockey development ladder and formerly county hockey. Nominated players from the JDCs will receive further coaching in the core skills and match play from qualified coaches with competition between the JACs within regions. JACs will run from January to May in a given season. Following the JAC programme, coaches will nominate players to attend assessments for the Junior Regional Performance Centres (JRPC) for potential regional players.

JACs are for boys and girls from U13-U17 and all age groups will participate in the Southern Counties Championships. Middlesex are seeking to coach approximately 24 boys and 24 girls in each age group, but in the U13’s the squad may be up to 30 players and will include a development squad. Selected squads of 16-18 players will then represent the JAC in matches. Players selected for England following regional activity will not take part in JAC activity.
