PLAYER PATHWAY UPDATE

As things slowly return to some kind of normality and England Hockey moves onto Stage 4 of the COVID return to play plan, Devon are beginning to make plans for the 2020/21 Player Pathway cycle.

As expected the season will look somewhat different to normal and in advance we would like to thank you for your patience and support with this. England Hockey have suggested a shortened season for any Development and Academy activity with no inter county competition to take place until January 2021. This will allow hockey to return to schools and clubs in the first instance.

We are currently working with a couple of scenarios to see what fits. We are looking to run assessments for Academy in October/November time. This is for U14s-U17s birth year 2007- 2004 (2008) by nomination only. As soon as we have more details we will ensure all schools and clubs are made aware of this. You can also keep an eye on the Devon Junior Hockey website and Devon Hockey Association Facebook page as all updates and information will also be added there.
