Junior Development Centres (JDCs)

You will be aware that the England Hockey Single System was implemented in Norfolk in September 2008.  The first stage was a single venue of JACs (county level coaching) at Dereham Hockey Club.  The next stage was the setting up of 4 JDC (sub county level) sites around the County.

Sub County Sessions (JDCs)
The 2008/9 JDCs took place at Harleston, Kings Lynn, Greshams and Taverham.  The aim was to target good club/school players that are not county level players, but would benefit from county level coaching and may potentially become county level players.

2009/10 Season

The England Hockey Norfolk JDCs took place between October and December 2009 and players who participated in 2008/9 JACs and JDCs (except those who took part in JRPCs) were invited to attend JDC assessments:

• U13 and U14 boys and girls - Hobart High School, Loddon; Cromer High School, LynnSport, Kings Lynn
