Many of the hockey clubs we have affiliations with also have junior sides, giving you an opportunity to undertake coaching work. This can be extremely rewarding for players looking to develop teamwork, leadership and organisational skills - a welcome addition to any CV. As well as this, coaching is fun and a great way to meet new people and integrate into your new club environment.

We offer fully furnished accommodation in central locations, close to both the city and clubs. Accommodation will be shared with other participants, ensuring you have lots of friends with whom you can explore your new environment. Most bills are included in the price, so you need not worry about budgeting for any unexpected costs. We also provide mentors who act as guides and useful points of contact should people have any worries or require assistance whilst abroad, and we offer participants help in finding work.
