Summer Junior Camp - 26-28th Aug

This summer, Jon Royce will be leading a three-day junior hockey training camp from Wednesday 26th to Friday 28th August.

Open to junior players from Year 5 upwards, this camp offers an outstanding opportunity for young players to develop their game under the guidance of one of hockey's most experienced coaches.

Jon is a senior FIH-qualified coach with international coaching experience across all age groups. He has previously served as Head Coach at Premier Division club Surbiton, leading them to a Premiership runners-up finish, and has held senior coaching and sports leadership roles at schools including Kingston Grammar School, where he was Director of Sport.

Building on the success of previous camps, this promises to be another fantastic opportunity for junior players to:

• Sharpen their technical skills
• Improve match awareness and decision-making
• Learn from some of the best coaches in the game
• Have fun and enjoy hockey with friends

Participants will be grouped according to age and experience level, ensuring that every player receives appropriate coaching and challenge. More experienced players will train separately from less experienced players, while all groups will have access to the full coaching team. Jon himself will work with each group throughout the camp.

The programme focuses on developing strong technical foundations and, crucially, applying those skills effectively within unit play and match situations.

Jon's coaching philosophy is simple:
"The way to enjoyment is mastery of the game. If you can perform the skills well, make the right decisions and be effective, you will feel good about yourself and the game. Training must have purpose, and that's exactly what this camp will provide."

After last week's high temperatures put paid to all but one of our Summer League fixtures, the weather is still set to be warm this week. Thankfully, conditions look good for what will be the final round of another successful Summer League season.

This week's fixtures:

Tuesday: Gillingham Gladiators v Andover
Wednesday: Bourne Badgers v Avon Kingfishers
Thursday: Gillingham Giants v Warminster School
Friday: Wylye Foxes v Sarum Swifts

As the Summer League winds down, attention will also turn to England as they begin the knockout stages against the Democratic Republic of the Congo, hoping to kick off a long cup run. Kick-off is at 5:00pm, and the match will be shown live in the Clubhouse.

Why not come down and watch what promises to be a nail-biting encounter with friends before enjoying an evening of hockey? To allow everyone to catch the game, the Bourne Badgers v Avon Kingfishers fixture will start after the match finishes. The scheduled 7:00pm push-back may be slightly delayed, or considerably later should the dreaded penalty shoot-out be required!

Everyone is welcome, so come along, enjoy some hockey, grab a drink, and see if it's coming home.

On Wedesday at 5pm England take on the Democratic Republic of Congo looking to progress into the last 16.

All the action can be watched at Salisbury SW Sports Club and Clubhouse come along and watch with friends.

Bourne Badgers will take on Avon Kingfishers after the game so why not stay on for another epic contest.

Salisbury Flyerz at Lee Valley

Salisbury’s Flyerz disability-inclusive section has now been running for almost two years and has gone from strength to strength. As one of the earliest Flyerz sections in the country, it can sometimes feel as though we are on our own.

That is why the opportunity to attend England Hockey’s Flyerz Festival at the FIH Pro League was simply too good to miss.

Bright and early, we set off with four players to enjoy two Pro League matches before taking part in the Flyerz Festival itself.

On a very warm day, although cooler than it would become later in the week, we watched the England Men defeat Australia before seeing the England Women narrowly miss out after a thrilling shootout. Judging by the excitement it created, shootouts may well become part of our Friday sessions.

After the matches, it was our turn to step onto the pitch. Alongside Flyerz players from across the country, we took part in a series of hockey activities and exercises.

It was a fantastic experience to play on the Olympic pitch, and the Salisbury players were a real credit to the club. Their enthusiasm and love for hockey was clear for all to see.
We returned home late, tired and exhausted, but already looking forward to the next opportunity to take part in an event like this.

It was a great day for Salisbury Flyerz not only because it was so much fun, but because it reinforced that we are doing the right things and that we are part of a wider Flyerz community across the country.

A huge thank you to England Hockey for organising such a fantastic event. Count us in for the next one.

Salisbury Hockey Club Flyerz Sessions
Flyerz Hockey is a friendly and inclusive, welcoming opportunity for people of all abilities to play disability inclusive hockey.

Thursday: 6:00pm – 7:00pm
Friday: 10:00am – 11:00am
