What is the Single System?
• Development pathway for all ages and abilities; players,
coaches and officials to reach their full potential.
• Based on a set of principles that puts the participant at the
centre and is based on scientific research widely accepted by
the majority of other major sports within England.
Why did hockey need a Single System?
• Many historical boundaries, systems and competitions that
make the hockey landscape a complicated one.
• The pathway varied enormously, not only between boys and
girls, but also from region to region and county to county.
EHB Single System
-
Principle’s of the Single System
• Long term view of a player’s development.
• Research concluded that it takes 9-10 years of deliberate
practice to become an expert performer.
• Players learn core skills, then how to apply them in game
situations, a constantly changing environment.
• Good decision making supported by team tactics,
conditioning and psychology to contributes to performance..
• EHB wanted all to reach their potential - whether that
potential is at school / club level or international level and
also to provide for coaches, officials and administrators in the
sport as well as players.
EHB Single System
-
The purpose of the Single System was:
• to make opportunities for participants fair, equitable. and consistent.
• It is to ensure that a suitable level of coaching and competition is offered
for people at the appropriate stage of their development and to maximise
the chance they have of fulfilling their potential whether that potential is as
a club or international player, coach or official.
The Single System progress:
• Extensive consultation over a two year period
• Board approved the implementation plan of the Single System in July
2006.
• Since July 2006 EHB have been working together with Regional & County
Associations, HE/FE and other partners to roll out the different elements
of the Single System framework

REFLECTIONS
• Initially not enough understanding by the sector that this was about individual player
development and what was required for performance
• Initially too much focus on BUSA points
• Challenges for institutions at the suggestions of NPC clusters
• BUCS Competition structure lacks performance and felt threatened
• Criteria and principles are robust
• Universities who were not successful have continued their investment in hockey
• SRPC became not viable
• NPC Athlete progression higher than performance sport average
• Strong engagement with parents at point of entry
• Increase of academic performance
• Delivered high quality dual career
• How does the sector keep pace with performance sport?
