Puffins is for girls in school years 7 and 8.  We also encourage girls in school year 9, who are not ready for competitive club hockey, to remain in Puffins.  The Puffins coaching group is the next step in the Jersey Hockey player pathway after the girls have completed their time in the Minis coaching group.  We also welcome girls who are new to the game to come and learn the fundamental core skills of hockey and to develop their game in readiness for the next step – competitive club hockey.  Guidance can be given to the girls on when it is time for them to make this step and how they should do it.

Feagles is for boys in school years 7 and 8.  The Feagles coaching group is the next step in the Jersey Hockey player pathway after the boys have completed their time in the Minis coaching group.  We also welcome boys who are new to the game to come and learn the fundamental core skills of hockey and to develop their game.

Historically Jersey Hockey have run both boys and girl U16 performance squads and boys and girls U14 performance squads.  These squads will hopefully, travel restrictions allowing, play against Guernsey in an inter insular and travel to the UK for competition in 2021/2022.  The situation with regard to 2021/2022 is still uncertain owing to the Covid-19 outbreak.

These squads are important steps on the Jersey Hockey player pathway. 

Girls and Boys are invited to attend trials for these squads either via their school teachers or from observations by relevant Jersey Hockey coaches. 

Junior Inter Insulars take place for both boys and girls at the U14 and U16 age groups.  Dates will be agreed with Guernsey and advised accordingly.

The U14 and U16 GIRLS are now run by Jersey Hockey.

Both the U14 and U16 performance squads are very important steps on the Jersey Hockey player pathway.  Players are invited to attend trials for these squads either via their school teachers or from observations of relevant Jersey Hockey coaches.  Invitations are sent out in the summer preceding the start of a new season.  We very much hope to be able to offer meaningful competition against Guernsey and some UK teams during the 2021/2022 season.  

For more information on the Player Pathway please click here.  Players in Jersey who are considered to be ready for assessment will be invited to attend a trial, in Jersey, at which England Hockey coaches will be present (if possible).  From that trial they may be nominated for an assessment for Performance Centres.  The Performance Centres are the level of the Player Pathway that is above the Academy Centres
