The FHBC Athlete Development Program (ADP) is geared towards the holistic development of the player. This program offers an optional opportunity for athletes in the development to performance stream to engage in continuous training sessions for a 6-week period.
The curriculum, aligned to the National Field Hockey Skills Matrix, will cover a wide range of technical skills and basic gameplay concepts, as well as elements of fitness information and sports science.
The ADP is a complimentary athlete development opportunity to FHBC’s Technical Development Program which differs in its prescriptive curriculum that focuses on a specific field hockey skill or skills. FHBC plans to offer Technical Development Program opportunities for athletes in the New Year.
The FHBC Athlete Development Program and Technical Development Program are not associated with the FHBC Provincial Program Evaluation and Talent Identification Pathway.

If there are no programs being currently offered in your area, we would encourage you to reach out to your local club to ascertain whether there are similar opportunities available through the club or whether your club would be willing and able to advocate for the Athlete Development Program to be considered for your local community. The alternative is to get in touch with FHBC directly to see what opportunities there may be for such programming in your community and whether planning for such is already underway.
