Whole Person Hockey

Supporting the holistic growth of young athletes, both physically and mentally

What is Whole Person Hockey?

A unique programme designed to nurture young athletes through expert coaching, physical and mental well-being support, and life skills development. More than just hockey — it’s about helping players thrive in sport and life.

Developed by Class Hockey co-founders and Olympians Nick Thompson and Jo Ellis, who bring over 50 years of combined coaching experience, in collaboration with GB internationals James Gall, James Albery, and Katie Curtis.

Class Hockey aims to empower both players and families to successfully navigate modern pressures while fostering a healthy, fulfilling sporting journey.

Spaces on this exclusive programme are limited. Selected players must demonstrate a high level of commitment and the ability to push beyond their comfort zones, as it is in these moments that we achieve the greatest and most lasting growth.
