Our camps are coached by a combination of top senior international players, up and coming junior internationals and some of the best creative coaching talent around. With over 150 coaches from more than 30 countries in the EVO team, EVO Hockey is a melting pot of multi-national coaching ideas, offering a unique perspective for players.

Our camps are creative, innovative and fun. We show young players hockey styles, philosophies and ideas from around the world, inspiring them to learn new skills and think about hockey in different ways. Sport psychology, strength & conditioning, video work and more are used to ensure maximum development benefit and enjoyment for all players.

We are trusted & recognised by the international hockey community. Our camps have been featured by the FIH (hockey's world governing body) and we regularly attract the world's best players to coach. Young players travel from across the UK and abroad to attend, on recommendation from players and coaches.

Our camps are tailored to the players attending. You provide your playing information on registration and we make sure that, whatever your level, the program you are on is optimised for you. In this way we have successfully developed players, from complete beginners to junior internationals.

EVO High Performance Camps are designed to accelerate the development of players. they are for players, who want an intensive, performance oriented training environment.

These camps are an incredible opportunity to optimise player performance.

The High Performance camp incorporates a number of training blocks over the days -

• High Performance training blocks - technical training - developing “world-class basics” and advanced skill development.

• Tactical blocks - tactical concept development, which can include analysis of game footage and / or tactical focuses in gameplay.

• Competitive Gameplay blocks - creating opportunities to combine technical skills and tactical concepts in the context of match environments.

At selected camps, players are given access to GPS tracking pods, to give exposure to this additional technical data. Note, this does not happen at each camp. If your camp is selected, you will receive an email the day before asking you to register for GPS.

For GPS users, post-camp, all players will have access to their GPS tracking data. This data enables them to understand their training intensity, see pitch heatmaps from matchplay and to benchmark themselves. Players returning to future high performance EVO camps will be able to build a bank of this GPS data over time, to observe improvements, record personal bests and measure performance development.

For outfield players, gumshields and shinpads are an absolute requirement and no player will be allowed to take part in the camps without these, unless parents sign a consent recognising the risks of doing so.

We would NEVER advise playing hockey without gumshields and shinpads, at any age! Beyond that, clothes suitable for outdoor sport and the weather at the time are advised and astroturf shoes should be worn (not football boots). A hockey stick is, of course, required.

For goalkeepers, full goalkeeper kit must be brought to the event by the player.

This camp is specifically designed with experienced youth (‘County’ standard and above) players in mind.

For High Performance camps, these are offered on a whole camp basis and players are encouraged to commit to the whole camp.

This is because part of the camp experience is to build and develop concepts over a course of days, competing to win, mirroring an international training camp environment.

We may from time to time be able to accommodate players on individual days only, depending on circumstances, so if you would like to attend but cannot attend every day, please get in touch to enquire before booking.

EVO groups players based upon the information provided upon registration.

Players should be aware that there is no guarantee as to which group they will be allocated into, or that they will be able to play in a preferred position.

Part of the high performance aspect is to prepare players to learn how to play with unfamiliar players, as well as in different positions. This is all part of the learning process.

Although we cannot offer refunds, we can sometimes offer you a credit for a future date. No-shows cannot be credited after the event. See our Cancellations & Returns policy for more information.

This is the UK and we are made of strong stuff! We play on all-weather pitches, so expect the camp to run, rain or shine! Please ensure your children have sufficient clothing for the vagaries of the British weather!

Fear not, however. If the weather gets too bad, most of our venues have some indoor space that we can use for cover if needed.

The only thing that can scupper us is if the pitches are unplayable, because they are frozen. Therefore, for camps in December and February, we operate an Adverse Weather policy, which sets out what will happen in the event of bad conditions, when any decisions will be made, how they will be communicated to you and what will happen to any bookings.

You can purchase them in our Shop.

No. Please provide a packed lunch and drinks / refreshment for the day. Our camps will always have access to water taps on-site, for players to re-fill water bottles.
