    What is Nike Hockey Camp?

    Nike Hockey Camps are residential summer camps for boys and girls aged 11 to 17 focused on developing hockey skills through expert coaching and competitive matchplay. The camps take place on the historic campus of Radley College in Oxford, providing access to high-quality sports facilities and an international community of players. Alongside hockey training, participants can choose from workshops on athlete mindset and nutrition or English language lessons with sports-oriented content.

    The camps include on-site accommodation, meals, excursions to notable UK cities and landmarks, and a structured schedule balancing training, education, and social activities. Elite coaches—including Olympic and European gold medallists—lead the programme, offering individual feedback and skill development. Welfare support and a strong safeguarding framework are integral, ensuring player safety and wellbeing throughout the stay. Weekly awards celebrate individual progress and effort.

    Who should consider this?

    Best for

    Best for young hockey players aged 11 to 17 who want an immersive summer experience combining high-level hockey coaching, skill development, and cultural exposure. Suitable for boys and girls of all abilities looking to improve technically and tactically in a supportive, international environment while also benefiting from workshops or English language learning. Those interested in staying on a vibrant private school campus with structured activities and excursions will find this camp suitable.

    Not ideal if

    Not ideal if you are not interested in residential camps or prefer local day programmes. Also less suitable for those who do not want an intensive schedule that includes both multiple daily training sessions and additional education classes, or if you are looking for hockey coaching without supplementary workshops or language lessons. Players who prefer a non-English immersion environment or less structured social activities may find this camp less fitting.

    Is it worth it?

    Nike Hockey Camps offer an environment designed to develop hockey skills under the guidance of experienced coaches and ambassadors, including Olympians, which can benefit players looking to elevate their game. The camp’s combination of technical coaching, tactical training, and match experience is complemented by workshops or language lessons, providing a rounded educational approach. The inclusion of welfare support, excursions, and social activities aims to provide a balanced and safe experience. Families should weigh the intensity and residential nature of the camp alongside personal player goals, comfort with group living, and budget considerations.

    What you actually do

    Participants engage in twice-daily hockey training sessions focused on technical skills like dribbling, passing, tackling, and shooting, combined with tactical understanding through matchplay and game scenarios. Additional hours are provided through workshops covering athlete lifestyle topics or English lessons using sports themes. The programme includes team tournaments, excursions to cities such as London and Oxford, and various evening activities fostering social connections.
