Hunter Academy of Sport Hockey Programme Update
The Hunter Academy of Sport is running a programme for all tier 2 athletes (athletes not in the NSW AAP Program) This programme is running over the off season from October to March on a monthly basis. The programme will be run by Head Coach, Nate Butterfield. As in the past, we will focus on fitness, strength, and skill acquisition to achieve honours in State and Blues sides.
The HNSW Centre of Development (COD) is also being run by Head Coach, Nate Butterfield but will be run in two age groups.
- U13 boys and girls
- U15 boys and girls.
This is what has taken over the HAS Development Programme which was very successful over the last few years.
The HNSW COD will be run in Newcastle on a Monday night, Central Coast on Tuesday night, Taree on Friday night and Port Macquarie on a Saturday morning.
This programme will be similar to past HAS Development Programmes, but will be run weekly over a 10 week period, November to February. With the planned finish just before this year’s U15 selections for the State Program.
HAS supports and promotes the HNSW COD programs and is working closely with HNSW to ensure both programs are a success in the Hunter Region.
If you have any questions you should contact Nate Butterfield either by email, nate@bartleigh.com or by phone 0421 938 593.
