A Talent Certification 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 Certification accreditation recognises the quality of a club’s talent development environment and provision, not individual players.

England Hockey will recognise, through accreditation, environments within the Talent System that provide high quality talent development. In time, we envisage the operation of around 100-120 Talent Certification clubs 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.

The Expression of interest is now open for the 2025 / 26 season, please complete the form here
