Hockey
Battle Abbey has a strong tradition of hockey and we believe that it is exciting and one of the fastest games played today so we know ho important it is to up hold that tradition.
 
The school has an astro turf, great teachers/ coaches and a full fixture list meaning that you will have every opportunity to excel.
 
We have teams in every age group for both boys & girls.  A captain is appointed for each age group which allows pupils from a young age to develop leadership skills working closely with the school’s team coaches.
 
Overall you need commitment, that famous Battle Abbey spirit and dedication to reach your potential.  Every player loves the winning feeling, having played an exciting match, is difficult to beat.
 
Hockey is summed up at Battle Abbey by play hard, play well and most of all enjoy it.
 
 
Curriculum
The girls play Hockey in the Winter (Michaelmas) term and for the boys it is played in the spring (Lent) term by KS3, 4 & 5.  Pupils receive a module of Hockey which cover the basic principles of the game.  Groups are usually split depending on ability meaning that player will be stretch as the will always be working with player of the same level.
 
Clubs & Fixtures
Hockey is a major sport of the school and hence two practice slots are allocated each week for the teams.  This allows the team coaches to work on specific tactics, for upcoming game as well as introduce complex skills for those players wanting to extend their development in the game.
 
Clubs Links
Due to the enthuasim of the school coaches many players want more hockey so Battle Abbey links with South Saxons Hockey Club and provides transport to and from the training sessions.  The club share the same hockey playing philosophy as Battle Abbey so player development is sped up.
