JDCs and JACs Junior Development Centres (JDCs) and Junior Academy Centres (JACs) are local training centres for U13 to U17 age groups. JDCs After playing for a club or school, attending a JDC is the next step. The coach or teacher can nominate a player to attend an assessment for a JDC. JDCs can be accessed through nominations from schools, clubs or coaches JACs JACs are open to any hockey player who has been nominated by a Junior Development Centre (JDC) coach. A JAC is the next step on hockey’s player pathway. A JDC coach can nominate a player to attend an assessment for a JAC if and when they think it is appropriate for the player’s development. What happens at JDCs and JACs? Both provide regular training sessions where players will receive coaching to develop all aspects of their hockey from appropriately qualified coaches. As well as training, there will be competition between local JDCs and, later between JACs. The combination of training and competition allows players to develop in a variety of situations and ensures they are assessed over the whole programme in more than just the competition environment. Where and when are the JDCs and JACs? Players will attend whichever JDC or JAC is closest to where they live JDC preparation sessions are between June & November, with the competition days normally falling during Oct and November. JAC will run between November and May, with the competition days falling during March, April and May.
