Our Maxi Hockey Academy (ages 14-16) is an advanced 20-week programme designed for players committed to refining their game and progressing towards elite performance levels. This programme is tailored for individuals looking to build consistency, precision, and confidence in their skillset while developing the physical and theoretical attributes required for higher-level hockey.
Throughout the 20 weeks, sessions will focus on executing core skills with accuracy and reliability under pressure. Players will be challenged to perform at speed, make smarter decisions, and apply techniques effectively in realistic match scenarios. A strong emphasis is placed on game understanding, with players encouraged to read the game, adapt to situations, and develop autonomy in their decision-making.
Physical development is integrated into the programme, helping players improve agility, speed, and overall athleticism, alongside an introduction to the tactical and theoretical aspects of the game. Sessions will also support preparation for trials and elite pathway opportunities, providing insight into expectations and performance standards.
Working closely alongside players’ club coaches, this programme takes an individualised approach, targeting each player’s personal development needs. By the end of the programme, players will be more consistent, self-aware, and equipped to take ownership of their performance at the next level.
APEX also offers a taster package of 5 weeks to make sure the Academy is right for you.
