Hockey Performance CampThis one-day programme is designed for committed club-level players in Years 7 to 10 who are looking to accelerate their development in a professional, performance-focused environment. Led by our Head of Hockey, Morgan Sturt, and supported by Alex Danson-Bennett (Olympic Gold medallist), the programme will offer high-quality pitch-based coaching and players will undertake sessions focused on technical refinement, tactical understanding, and decision-making at game intensity. Athlete wellbeing and recovery are central to the programme. This is not a recreational or introductory camp. It is a performance-driven experience aimed at motivated hockey players who want to challenge themselves, train like an athlete, and gain insight into a high-performance school hockey environment. The camp will be led by Embley’s Head of Hockey, Morgan Sturt who is a National League player for Havant HC, a Talent Academy Coach with the South Coast Talent Academy and represented England Colleges as a junior.

Netball Performance CampLed by Embley's Head of Netball, Zoe Leavers, this one day camp is designed for girls in Years 7 to 9 who have experience playing netball at school or club level and already have a good understanding of the game. We will focus on developing and enhancing players’ technical and tactical skills through a series of targeted workshops. These sessions will concentrate on key areas such as shooting, attacking, and defending. Our aim is to challenge and motivate netballers who are eager to push themselves, grow their confidence, and take their game to the next level. Miss Leavers has over 30 years of playing experience and during her time at university captained both the England and British universities teams, which she then went on to coach.

Rugby Performance CampLed by Embley's Head of Rugby, Ben Turner, this one-day programme is designed to give committed club-level players in Years 7 to 9 a comprehensive, high‑quality development experience. Students will receive position‑specific coaching, allowing them to refine the technical skills most relevant to their role. Training sessions will also include a strong emphasis on game‑based scenarios, encouraging players to improve their decision‑making under pressure and when to apply their skills in a dynamic environment. To deepen players’ understanding of the sport, the camp will feature tactical awareness sessions. Coaches will guide students through key strategic concepts, enabling them to read the game more effectively and make smarter choices on the field. There will also be a structured strength and conditioning (S&C) block to enhance overall athletic performance. Players will learn about the physical movements and gym-based exercises that directly contribute to improved rugby performance, gaining practical knowledge they can carry into their ongoing training. Mr Turner has a degree in Coaching and Sports Development and over nine years of experience as Head Coach (U18) at Winchester RFC.
