January- Weather cancels
events
Given
the current Arctic conditions and forecast, Pidge and I have
decided to cancel Junior training on Sunday. We will
start on 17 Jan and start our preparation for “assessment
day”. Please spread the word.
Please
note the Suffolk JAC assessment session scheduled for
this Sunday at Harleston Magpies HC are postponed due
to the wintry weather. Assessment sessions for the under 14,
under 15, under 16 and under 17’s have been rearranged
for next Sunday 17th January. ….. However due
to the second pitch at Harleston not being available between
10.00 and 12.00 on the 17th we have decided to
delay the Under 13’s assessments until Sunday 24th
January and we have moved the Under 14 Boys assessment from
11.13 to 10.00 on the 17th. (See below.) All
further dates remain the same at this stage
Please can you notify all young people at your school
and clubs likely to attend.

September- Junior Academy launched
The
Ipswich Hockey Academy has been established as an
Elite Junior Performance session, with the aim to encourage and
develop young players with potential to play at a high level.
The Academy has been set-up and is being run by England
Hockey Centrally Contracted Coach
and Ipswich Women's 1st team
coach James Kingstone.
James
in action
Due to the short lead time to the start of this seasons camps,
selection has been conducted with consultation from relevant
coaches at Ipswich Hockey Club. James will keep in close
contact with all coaches involved with Junior players during
this season and any players showing potential will be invited
to attend the Academy (If there is space).
The long term aim for selection is to have an open
trails session in the summer of 2010
and if there is demand to extend the Academy to a wider number
(at present it is limited to 8 Girls and 8 Boys)
The target players for this Academy are not the Juniors that
are already training with both 1's squad but the players below
that level and show signs of potential to play and train at
the higher level.
As the Academy is a specialised session it will incur an extra
charge to Club membership of around £7 per person per
session. This amount has been subsidised this season by
Ipswich HC, highlighting the clubs continued commitment to developing
our Junior players to their full potential.
Over the past seasons a lot of hard work has gone into our
Junior section and the Club feels this is Academy is another
valuable addition to ensuring that our club continues to
thrive and provide opportunities to our young players to reach
their desired goals.

SYL matches
- we are running 9 SYL teams who all
performed fantastically on 16 Nov gaining 10 wins, 3 draws

playing good hockey and putting what they learn at coaching
into practice under pressure of competitive matches. All
results and goal scorers are on the website.

with some excellent performances. All 3rd round matches

January 2009 at Culford School) and a
2. Country Wide Leadership Course (8th February and 15th

Details on the website.
Evening Star
- we have been asked to submit regular
match reports for the Tuesday sports supplement. If any
of you has a journalistic talent (or ambition!) and would like
to assist, please contact a team manager - I'm
sure the Juniors will enjoy seeing their names in print!
This will also be excellent publicity for the Club generally
and the Junior Section in particular.

following the completion of a High Performance Assessment Camp
(HiPAC) for U15s and U17s.

Ipswich players make new Regional Squads
The 16 squads for next week's EH
Futures Cup at Cannock Hockey Club have now been confirmed.
The event will be held at Cannock Hockey Club from Thursday
30th October until Sunday 2nd November.
The teams, playing under the names of
Pennine Pumas, Mercia Lynx, Saxon Tigers and Wessex Leopards,
have been selected from the 12 Junior Regional
Performance Centres (JRPCs) that will form a key part of England
Hockey's new Single System.
The Pennine Pumas athletes come from
the JRPCs at Newcastle, Leeds and North Manchester.
The Mercia Lynx players all hail from the JRPCs at
Nottingham/Loughborough, North Birmingham and Oxford while the
Saxon Tigers consist of players from Bury St Edmunds, St
Albans and Oxted/Tonbridge JRPCs. The JRPCs at Bristol,
Exeter and Winchester have come together to form the Wessex
Leopards.
The players were all selected for
their respective squads after the 'Tier 1' JRPC activity which
involved the Junior Regional Performance Centres in each area
playing against each other.
Teams will play at Under 16 and Under
18 in both boys and girls competitions at the tournament,
which acts as a selection ground for England's National Age
Group Squads as well as providing good quality competition for
the athletes.
