City of Peterborough Hockey Club have launched the ‘Frank Bothamley Elite Development Programme’, an initiative designed to provide top young players with intensive training and improvement during the summer.

The programme will be run over 10 sessions and will be provided free of charge to selected players aged between 14-25.

Coaching will be led by the Hockey 4 U Academy run by Neil Evans (ex-National League player) and Gareth Andrew (ex-England international and current City of Peterborough player-coach).

"We are thrilled to launch the Elite Development Programme and provide young players with the opportunity to accelerate their development and reach their full potential," said a City of Peterborough spokesperson. "Thanks to the generous sponsorship of Frank Bothamley, we are able to provide this programme free of charge.”

Tthe sessions are also sponsored by Eleven Hockey, a supplier of innovative hockey sticks and equipment.

It’s hoped the summer training sessions will run for several seasons.
