All pupils are provided with opportunities to play and experience Hockey at Regent and we pride ourselves on meeting the needs of all participants; providing week to week fixtures for all age groups through to supporting the development of elite representative players. Every player has access to our expert coaching and top class facilities, including our international sand-dressed synthetic pitch which opened in 2014.
Hockey is played throughout the winter and spring terms, with full fixture lists enabled across both terms which include games against other schools from across the country. The Hockey programme is delivered by teachers, former pupils and coaches from local Hockey clubs. Additionally all boys can benefit from specialised technical one-to-one coaching; athletic development sessions involving strength and conditioning and can gain access to performance analysis through our Gamebreaker software system.
Our emphasis is on player development whilst giving players the ultimate hockey experience.
Cancellation Policy
Please follow the Boys hockey Club on twitter – RHS Hockey @RegentHockey
The cancellation of after school practice sessions maybe required due to weather issues or in the rare circumstances of coach unavailability. Where this is the case, pupils will be informed through notification on the school Hockey noticeboard and a twitter feed will be posted to update parents as soon as reasonably possible.
Late cancellation of Saturday fixtures can occur due to developing weather conditions. Where this is the case the supervisory teacher will contact the team captain to inform the team of the cancellation via text messaging and social media. It is therefore imperative that all pupils check their texts and social media accounts prior to leaving the house on Saturday morning. A twitter feed will also be posted to update parents as soon as reasonably possible.
