Telford & Wrekin Hockey Club: International Masterclass Sessions

Unlocking Potential with World Class Coaching

At Telford & Wrekin Hockey Club, we are fiercely committed to providing the very best development pathway for our junior players. Our commitment goes beyond running engaging, high-quality training sessions week after week. it extends to creating extraordinary, unique opportunities that put our players directly in front of the country's elite coaches.

This dedication is perfectly showcased through our highly successful series of International Masterclass Sessions.

The Best Training, Every Week and Beyond

Our core focus is delivering a robust, fun, and inclusive weekly training programme that encourages skill development, team camaraderie, and a lifelong love for the game. We believe that consistent, quality coaching is the foundation of player growth.

However, we understand that to inspire and truly accelerate potential, we must provide access to the top tier of hockey expertise. Over many years, the club has cultivated a strong network of contacts across the international hockey landscape. This network allows us to host Masterclasses featuring some of the best, most experienced coaches and international players in the country.

A Commitment to Excellence

Our International Masterclass series is a powerful demonstration of the club’s dedication to providing our juniors with the highest possible level of training. These sessions are not just novelty events; they are focused coaching clinics designed to give our juniors exposure to:

Elite Perspective: Learning high-level tactics and insights directly from coaches and players who compete at the highest domestic and international levels.
Specialised Skills: Focused, expert-led training on specific positions or advanced techniques (such as attacking the final third or specialised goalkeeping).
Inspiration: Direct interaction with sporting heroes, showing our juniors a clear, attainable path to the top of the sport.

By inviting international talents, including homegrown players like Callum Mackenzie, Lorna Mackenzie, Barney Bithell and David Goodfield, as well as England captain Lily Walker, England u21 Ben Hooper, to lead these sessions, we are ensuring our players receive world class input right here at St George's.

Whether a player dreams of enjoying local league hockey or aspiring to represent Great Britain, our extensive support network and world-class Masterclasses are here to support every step of their journey.
