Hockey is the performance sport for girls in the Michaelmas Term and the performance sport for boys in the Lent Term.

Having three games lessons a week, as well as two activity lessons, there is ample time and opportunity to develop, whether you are trying hockey for the first time or are a competent player. While pupils progress through the school, so will the training focus.  An emphasis of learning core skills in the junior school proceeds into developing a more fluent technical hockey style in the senior school.

Training comprises both physical and psychological sessions, where players are analysed using the newest technology and coaching aids. Trips to premier league hockey matches occur where up-and-coming hockey players can observe the demands of top level sport.  With organised fixtures against local adult clubs in addition to school teams, it brings a wider range of competition, which helps refine team skills.

The astroturf and all weather pitches are used regularly to improve performance and develop knowledge of the game. Other facilities include a state-of-the-art sports centre which caters for indoor hockey as well as regular fitness sessions.

St Lawrence College follows a strong traditional hockey ethos, concentrating on team work, leadership and commitment, all of which are taken with pupils when they progress through later life.

We offer sports scholarships based on sporting ability and want every potential student to get this opportunity.  If you feel you can offer our school a high standard of hockey at 11+, 13+ or 16+ please get in contact with our registrar Alison Hall via email ah@slcuk.com.
