Dear Player,
If you have received this letter, it means you have been nominated by your coach/ teacher to attend the Oxfordshire Hockey Assessment days for the AC
(formerly JAC) for the season 2018. Goal Keepers may have already attended their assessment in the summer. There is no cost for Goal Keepers for these two sessions but a requirement to attend if they wish to be considered for the 2018 AC squad.
You are automatically invited if you have attended a Development or Academy Centre in the past. Performance Centre players must attend the assessment days if they would like to be considered for the Academy Centre Squad 2018.
This year we have managed to secure Todd Williams who is former Australian international and premier league coach. The assessment for this year’s AC consists of 2 sessions which will focus on all aspects of the game.
Players that are selected to be part of the AC Squad for 2018 are expected to attend the 3 or 4 training sessions which at present are schedules for 14th, 21st January and 4th March from 5.00 – 7.00 with the possibility of an additional date TBC. Matches will then take place and at present are provisionally schedules for 18th March,15th,22nd April and 6th May.
Players are required to meet the age criteria based on the calendar year, rather than school year. A table showing birth years and Junior Development Centre/Junior Academy years is below.
2002 / 2001Under 16 / Under 17
