In December, a group of 21 Second Year hockey players had an amazing time on their pre-season Barcelona hockey tour.
They focused on intensive hockey training, improving their skills and team dynamics.
Outside of training, they enjoyed some exciting activities, including attending a La Liga football match to watch Espanyol play.
They also explored some of Barcelona’s iconic sights, including the stunning Sagrada Familia and the vibrant Las Ramblas.
Second Year student Xavier said, “The hockey tour to Barcelona over the Christmas break was really fun, and the pitches were amazing to play hockey on. The activities we did were a lot of fun and even though some were not necessarily of interest initially, they ended up being really enjoyable, such as the football match we went to see.
“The two-hour hockey sessions at Real Club de Polo every day were the perfect length of time because we could get not only training in, but lots of fun matches near the end of the session.”
Mr Giles, Head of Hockey said, “We enjoyed some bright, sunny weather in Barcelona as well as some fantastic hockey playing. Throughout the trip, the boys were a fantastic group, making the experience both memorable and enjoyable for all involved.”
