We are excited to announce that Prof. Mark De Ste Croix will be hosting a masterclass in injury prevention for our youth hockey players, coaches and parents at KLB on Sunday 1st September at KLB, 11 am -12.20pm.

Mark is Professor of Paediatric Sport and Exercise at the University of Gloucestershire. As well as having published extensively in international scientific journals on muscle, ligament and joint health he has consulted to some of the leading sports teams in Europe, including Barcelona Football Club, on injury prevention in youth players, female and male. The masterclass will be designed for our players, to educate and empower them to adopt good practices and movement habits so as they progress through their hockey (and wider sporting) careers they can reduce their risks of athletic injuries.

There will be a 30-minute video-based presentation to expose our female and male youth players to the science of injury prevention and a 45-minute gymnasium practical session where theory will be put into practice.

Sports injury prevention has been highlighted by our coaching team as an area for development and this is a unique opportunity for our youth section to benefit from elite level knowledge and training.
