WELLINGTON HOCKEY
Summer Programme 2024
Our summer programme is back for 2024. The WHA U18/U15 Summer Programmes are a pre-season training block designed for players with capability and aspiration to represent Wellington. Players who don’t have the aspiration to represent Wellington, but still wish to develop can access that opportunity in other Wellington Hockey programmes. The expectation is that all Summer Programme participants will make themselves available for U18/U16 trials. As in the past, the Summer Programmes will also form an important part of the selection process for the 2024 intakes for the U16 EXTEND and U18 EXCEL Squads (players who want to apply for the Development Squads must be involved in the Summer Programmes).

Note: For those who sit outside of this, the WHA Explore Programme would be a more suitable and valuable development opportunity.
Note: We are encouraging and supportive of players participating in summer sports and will work around those other commitments to ensure individuals can manage both and can form an appropriate weekly training schedule. We are comfortable with compromising some of the hockey sessions and ask that any players with clashes communicate in advance.
If you have any questions, please contact James, our Performance and Pathways Manager, will be working closely with Jack and Kieran our Community Development Officers to deliver these programmes. If you have any urgent questions regarding the 2024 Summer Programme, please reach out to the team at james@wellingtonhockey.org.nz.
