WHAT IS A TALENT CENTRE? A Talent Centre club is a club that provides high quality provision for players at early talent development level (Talent Foundations). This provision will be
embedded within the club’s junior programme. Talent Centre accreditation recognises the quality of a club’s talent development environment and provision, not individual players. There is no
limit to the number of clubs who can obtain Talent Centre accreditation, however, we anticipate the operation of around 80-100 Talent Centres by 2025 so that every child should have
reasonable access to one or more of these opportunities if they wish to and if it is right for them. These numbers are based on a combination of club readiness and England Hockey’s capacity
to support clubs.
