About Us
Futures Sports has been running specialised hockey camps since 1991. During this time, Futures Sports have built up an outstanding reputation for providing children and young people with a safe, fun, challenging experience that they will never forget.
Futures
Sports Camps have been recognised nationally and internationally in the
past
through schemes including the FIH International Year of the Youth and

Our
Coaching Staff
All Futures Sports coaches are required to be fully qualified, child welfare
trained, first aid trained and CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) checked.
The coaching team is openly recruited and carefully selected to provide
