RAF Development Days
20th and 24th February 2006
This year’s RAF Development Days, held at RAF Valley and RAF St
Athan on Monday 20th and Friday 24th February were extremely successful,
and, despite the obstructing snow, saw over 70 children of primary and
secondary school age attend.Both days, which were hosted and funded
by the Royal Air Force, gave budding hockey players the opportunity to
develop their hockey skills, take part in an SAQ fitness session and
team building session delivered by RAF officers, and then put their
skills into practice in a hockey tournament. Players also had the
opportunity to learn more about the vocational opportunities available
to them with the RAF.
The hockey skills were delivered by WHUL Youth Hockey Activators, who
are currently on a programme which provides them with support to develop
their coaching, umpiring and hockey development skills.
The development days were thoroughly enjoyed by both staff and
players, and Welsh Hockey Union Limited would like to extend their
gratitude to the RAF who kindly hosted these events, thereby allowing us
to offer this fantastic opportunity to our players free of charge.
