Bedfordshire Development Centre 2023/24

Please see the attached open letter to parents from our new Head of BDC, Katherine Winger, and BHC Chairman, David Ross. The information is also relevant those interested in joining BDC.

Development Centre will run on Monday evenings, providing the opportunity for U14, 16 and 18 players from clubs all over the region to come together to train in their age groups. With Bedfordshire being a small County, pooling the talent of staff from across several clubs enables elite coaching provision and age group matches where many clubs do not have the player numbers or set-up to be able to facilitate junior age group hockey themselves. We are proud to have juniors train, play matches and grow in confidence at BDC, returning to their home club senior sides to play senior league hockey.

Girls and boys will train in separate groups, alternating weeks and goalies will continue to have specialist training sessions as well as engaging in match play with their peers.

Registration is open on the Club Shop here. We will notify you on kit soon.
