JDC/JAC 2013-14
From September to December 2013,NHDG ran Junior Development Centres (JDCs) at U13, U15 and U17 age groups, boys and girls. Most JDCs took place at Highfields Hockey Centre. Some sessions also took place at Newark and Boots HC. A JDC was held for all age-groups (boys and girls) at WorksopCollege. This was run by Clive Morris and Tracey Fuller. 15 players attended. It is hoped that this can be further developed for 2014.
At the end of JDC, players were selected to progress toJAC, again at U13, U15 and U17 age groups. In age groups with large numbers of players, selection trials took place. JAC activity commenced in January 2014, in the form of training sessions and inter-county development tournaments. The final Midlands’ Counties Inter JAC Championships take place in May. In addition to the above age groups, Notts will also enter U14 Boys tournament. Results are not yet available
