U18 Girls
The U18 Girl's target is the European Tournament held every two years. Currently the girls are in the Trophy Division and are aiming for an improvement with their ultimate aim being promotion in 2011.
The programme runs for two years with the priority of the first year being continued technical development while during the second half of the first year an element of tactical development will take place. This aims to advance the skills developed in the Junior Academy with emphasis on their continuation when under pressure and fatigued. The year will include a variety of fixtures including test matches.
The focus of the second year is tactical development and game play. Technical development will be maintained, however, it will occur within a tactical framework. The programme allows more fixtures and Championship division opponents are targeted. The Welsh Hockey Union will aim to enter the squad into a mini tournament where the athletes can get a feel for tournament play. The programme finishes off with the European Tournament normally held in July.
Athletes have access to a variety of support staff including coaches, a manager, physiologist, sport psychologist, physiotherapist and central support by the Welsh Hockey Union Performance Section.
