Hockey in England has evolved over many years and has many historical boundaries, systems and competitions that make the hockey landscape a complicated one. The pathway varies enormously, not only between boys and girls, but also from region to region and county to county. The EHA started to introduce a single pathway from 2006. So what is the Single System? It is the development pathway for players, coaches and officials of all ages and abilities to reach their full potential. It is based on a set of principles that puts the participant at the centre and is based on scientific research that has been widely accepted by the majority of other major sports within England. The pathway looks like this:
The 2009-2010 season sees the introduction of this system into Hertfordshire. This has meant real changes in the way that hockey has been administered at junior level in the county. The Girls and Boys Youth sections that have run county junior hockey have dissolved and a new body reporting direct to the Hertfordshire Hockey Association has been formed; called the Hertfordshire Hockey Development Group.
This group is chaired by Richard West, who is the Chair of the County Association. One of the first acts of this group was to appoint Holloway Hockey to run the administration of single system in the county. The Group co-opted the 2 most well-known people in junior hockey in the county, Janette Wood and Graeme Welch, to provide their experience in this handover season. The Group advertised for a Director of Coaching. After a series of interviews appointed Simon Holloway was appointed for this year. Catherine Lymer, the County’s East Development officer is a member of the Group.
All stamps used in correspondence to the Single Systems Administrator and Director of Coaching are recycled through Oxfam thus providing revenue to the charity
