- About us

Helping athletes reach their goals

Whether you are a young player starting out, a current senior international athlete or you have retired from playing hockey, our aim is to support you with education, guidance and mentoring opportunities.

ONLINE E-Learning

We provide online e-learning courses on a range of essential and complementary subjects. E-learning is designed to be accessed at any time of the day or night, so you have total flexibility where, when and how you learn.

ONLINE Workshops & Courses

Online workshops and courses take place at a specific time and date. They are usually limited to 12, 14, or 16 participants and are facilitated by one or two of our FIH Educators. They encourage interaction through real-time virtual sessions.

FACE 2 FACE Workshops & Courses

Face 2 Face workshops and courses, as the name suggests, take place in person at a specific location, time and date that is appropriate to the level and subject area. They offer hands-on learning with expert guidance.

- Our FRAMEWORK

We have a wide range of athlete development and qualification options that all sit within the UDDHA Academy Athlete Education Framework (AEF). The AEF has 3 stages, based around the athlete participation journey from initiation to post career and life-long learning.
