Training

 

"Hard work is better than talent when talent doesn't work hard."
Herb Brooks, Olympic Gold Ice Hockey Coach.

Training is an integral part of any sport. As much as we all love to 'get stuck in' when it's game time there's a lot more to sport than that. It is well recognised that in order to get the most out of game situations, it is important that we're all well trained in the skills, techniques - and especially safety aspects - of our sports.

Linlithgow Academy offers hockey training from experienced coaches for girls, of all ages and abilities. We would ask that girls are appropriately dressed for training, and where possible bring gumshields, astroturf boots and shinpads for safety reasons. For 'climate' reasons waterproofs and woolies are also recommended!

The training schedule is as follows:

Session Day/Time Coach Support
Goalkeepers* Monday, 1600-1730 Karin Gallacher Mark Mckenny, Kate Swanson,
