- A desire to be involved at sport at a high level and to represent your country at an olympic games
PRIOR EXPERIENCE OF HOCKEY IS NOT ESSENTIAL
Much of the screening will take place without a stick and ball!
With the 2012/2016 Olympics fast approaching, Irish Hockey has developed a robust infrastructure to nurture talent. The Olympic Talent Search is an exciting part of this structure and will add to Ireland's realistic chance of competing in the Olympics in the future. In the first year of the scheme 11 girl and 3 boys proceeded from the TID screening process through to the Ireland U16 Squad.
