"The Ministars and Talent Development Academy is a fantastic programme, run by the club for both internal and external aspirational U14 and below hockey players in our region. The programme is designed to focus on technical elements and should be viewed as a tool to develop the individual player. A large chunk of this programme is spent indoors, a format which specifically emphasises the development of core technical foundations to develop a well-rounded hockey player. Coaches on this programme are both internal EG coaches, and external local club coaches, with the programming directive in-line with our performance lead's governance." (Theo Dowse – Junior Club Performance Lead)
