• DS Performance training programmes are designed to run alongside a skill/sport specific based training plan. Our programmes provide sessions for 3 days of training a week, to alternate between your skill/sport specific training sessions. We have selected five of the most important physical performance variables/attributes for each of the sports that are essential in developing your performance.

Agility training is massively underrated in all multi-directional sports like Field Hockey. This is why we have identified its importance and designing a range of performance programs specifically for developing your agility.

With our agility training programs you will increase your ability to react, adapt and move quickly. This will also supports your ability to think and understand game scenarios faster. By training agility you are not just training the mental reaction, but the physical one as well, in a very small period of time to react you need to decelerate, change direction and accelerate.

Agility is one of those key attributes that can be trained and utilised throughout all phases of training to keep you sharp. The agility range of performance programs, like the speed programs, are ideal for that pre-competition and competition phase of training.
