"Just a quick note to say a big thank you to all the hockey coaches this week. It was our son's first residential (age 10) and he has thoroughly enjoyed himself, learnt new skills and tried new experiences! It sounds like there was a really good balance between the technical hockey and some down time / leisure activities." |
What do we deliver during your stay at a RESIDENTIAL Hockey Course?
For children attending our RESIDENTIAL hockey course - the learning and adventure is 24/7!
The fully immersive experience is for young players who want to challenge themselves, grow in confidence, and live the life of a Sedbergh athlete.
Daily coaching led by inspiring staff —including ex-professionals and academy-level coaches—with a focus on stick-skill mastery, tactical awareness, physical conditioning, and “hockey IQ.”
Small-Group Skill Development
Targeted sessions around individual goals and positional needs—covering first-touch control, passing lines, elimination skills, dribbling, hitting, slapping, aerials, tackling, penalty-corner attack and defence, and quick decision-making.
Game-Based Learning & Match Play
Fast-paced, competitive scenarios that bring learning to life—from conditioned small-sided games and tactical drills to full match play, supported by video analysis and personalised feedback.
Full-Board Catering by In-House Chefs
Three high-quality meals a day, prepared by Sedbergh’s catering team—nutritious, age-appropriate food to fuel energy, focus, and recovery.

The Residential Experience
Being part of the Sedbergh Courses residential experience extends learning and adventure well beyond the daytime sessions; offering children 24/7 opportunities for personal growth, connection, and confidence-building. So, when the day’s activities wind down, the adventure continues — with evenings full of laughter and friendship that make the residential experience unforgettable.
Overnight Accommodation and Care
Pupils stay in our purpose-built boarding houses, where they’re cared for by experienced, nurturing staff who are used to helping children settle in quickly and feel at home. From the moment they arrive, we foster a warm and inclusive environment where kindness, routine, and support are at the heart of every day.
Our pastoral team works closely with the coaching and activity staff to ensure every child is happy, healthy, and engaged — whether that’s through a quiet chat before bed, encouragement after a challenging session, or shared laughter during evening activities.
We create a supportive setting that balances fun, structure, and care — helping children to grow in independence while always feeling safe, seen, and valued.

"When I watched the mini tournament on Thursday, I could already see an improved confidence in my daughter's hockey. She was prepared to try things that she wouldn't have tried in her 1st full season of hockey last year." |
