Romsey Hockey Club

Mike has been coaching at the Eastleigh Junior Regional Performance Centre for 3 years and has had great success coaching various teams, including the Hampshire Juniors and Chichester University, with the additional role of specialist goal keeper coach. He has assisted Trojans Ladies head coach when they were in the EHL Premier League.

This year he is very excited about his new role of Director of Coaching at Romsey Hockey Club as well working as the community hockey officer taking hockey into schools in the Winchester, Eastleigh and Hamble area. Mike will also be the Manager of the Wessex Leopards Under 16 boys squad and will take them to the Futures Cup being held at Cannock Hockey Club this October as well as running ‘Hockey 101‘ summer and holiday camps for juniors of all abilities. The Ladies 1st XI will definitely benefit from Mike’s focus this year.

Mike’s aim is to help all players reach their full potential by helping them to develop their individual skills and abilities as a member of a team.
