The camp is expected to run for one week, ending on August 28 and will be conducted daily from 9am-4pm.

It is open to all aspiring junior hockey players. England based players Marvin Dannett, Janela Munroe and Chantelle Fernandes will team up with local coaches to put the juniors through their paces as the club works towards increasing the quality and quantity of local junior players.

The players will be classified in three different groups, beginners, intermediates and advanced, to make the sessions as efficient as possible, with each group being coached separately, a release from the club stated.

The players  will be exposed to skills ranging from the very basic to the most advanced used at the highest level of the game.

To illustrate on what they will learn during the week, and to allow the candidates to test their skills against players of similar skill levels a mini-tournament will be held on Saturday.

Interested persons can report to the Saint Stanislaus College today at 9am.
