INSIGHT AND CANDOUR FROM THE ATHLETES 

 

Hockey Homecoming is designed to debrief events in Paris from both the Women's and Men's squads. The plan is one squad member for every two School Teams that enter, more schools that enter and make a social impact the more squad members to meet.

 

Life lessons are learnt in triumph and adversity. We hope that we have medals to show but we know that the participants from your school will get to learn what life is like as an elite athlete.

​

You get to ask questions and then pose for photos with the GB Hockey players before you get to show them what you can do.

TRAINING SESSIONS WITH THE ATHLETES

 

Hockey Homecoming provides your team with a range of fun activities with tips from the athletes as your team gets to partake in fun drills maximising your individual stick skills. 

​

Dribbling, shooting, passing interchanges are all honed as the athlete takes your team and one other XI through a sixty minute session. It can be tailored to requirements.

​

The session will culminate where possible a short sided game (bring a goalie with kit please), and then the ultimate challenge...Beat the Medallist

THE SOCIAL IMPACT 

​

The purpose of the day and why the athletes are attending is designed for your school  to work with GB Athletes across many sports to support YOUR CHOSEN GOOD CAUSE.

 

Homecoming Fundraising Target:

  • £2,200 per XI   (may we suggest that any surplus could be put towards sports                             provision at school?)

​​

That relates to a fundraising target of  £200 per person (the standard fee per person on our regular Hockey Days is £60 per person, so a School could levy that for the XI chosen to help with the fundraising target.)

 

Fundraising support given throughout the lead up.

  • Each school team will have their own Crowdfunding page linked to www.crowdfunder.co.uk/gbcharitydays .

  • Each donor gets the chance to win Athlete Prizes and Memorabilia.

  • Fundraising can be aided by utilising the parental network to get their companies to attend the Velodrome based Homecoming event selling packages at a premium to them.(No need to buy places upfront).

  • This will also mean that the pupils will be able to meet other GB Medallists during the day and the Parents also get to take on the Beat the Medallist challenges. See here for details.

  • Each school can download the existing brochure and add their own contact details to accept payments. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/0snawuadnoa45eu2zvnve/h?rlkey=cwfci8fzgp2h581qezx9m3ybw&dl=0

  • The above links gives you access the regular VIP Days across the whole range of sports to auction off or sell them at a premium. 

  • The above two points can always be used for separate general fundraising for the school at any time during 2024/5.

​

Since 2012 charities have sold places on Experience Days with GB Athletes, passing on the entry fees received at auction and banking the donations. Every entry fee is multiplied in value through this process. Last Autumn it was by 241%.
