Academy/Youth Training


Henley Hockey Club is one of the main Oxfordshire clubs providing regular coaching, training and matches for boys and girls aged from 4 to 16 years old. Coaching and training for these players is organised and carried out by qualified hockey coaches working with other club members and parents to help develop our future club and representative players.

In recent years we have produced a number of high quality youth players (both boys and girls), a number of whom have gone on to play at County, Regional and at National levels.
