FABULOUS achievement by one of Yateley HC's brilliant youngsters!

Belle Coffin - A journey from Minis hockey to Yateley HCs 1st team & now....Talent Academy!!

Having been part of Yateley HC since the age of 4, Belle is a fantastic example of what can be achieved through dedication, passion and the player development pathway this fantastic club offers!

Starting out in minis hockey, Belle has progressed amazingly with her hockey through the Junior age groups, representing Berkshire at County level and now being selected for the Reading Hockey Talent Academy at just 13 years old!

The Talent Academy is a key part of England Hockey's development system, designed to identify and progress some of the country's highest-potential young players aged 13-18. It provides specialist coaching, high-level training and competitive opportunities, helping players develop the skills and experience needed to progress towards the England Age Group programme (U16 and U18).....and potentially future international representation. It is a really important stepping stone for young players aspiring to compete at the highest level.

Now playing in Yateley's Women's 1st XI, Belle has successfully made the transition into senior hockey and is already making significant impact - currently sitting at the TOP of the DIVISION's goal-scoring table!!

There is an amazing talent pipeline of players at Yateley Hockey Club, and the club is EXTREMELY proud of all of them!!
Belle's journey demonstrates what makes Yateley HC special - priding itself on providing a welcoming, supportive and encouraging environment where young players can develop their skills, build friendships, enjoy the game and fulfil their potential.

WELL DONE BELLE!!!
