Residential hockey camps

Our annual residential hockey camps programme takes place each summer at the University’s sports facilities and welcomes players from all over the world.

Our weeklong camps are tailored for different levels of playing experience and ability, but throughout the programme players are able to better their knowledge of the game in a safe and inclusive environment.

With recent investment in the sports facilities, combined with the variety of residential facilities available on site, the University is now positioned as one of the best venues for residential sports training camps in Scotland.

Summer Camps 2025

For Summer 2025 our programme will offer three weeklong camps back-to-back from 20 July – 8 August.

Our Elite Invitation Camp is aimed at those players who are aspiring to play at the highest level and continue playing at University, our Performance Camp is o Ideal for players in the Scottish Hockey Brave pathway or performing at a comparable level elsewhere whereas our Technical Camp is open to any player with previous experence looking to further develop their technical skills.

We’re excited to announce that the new pitch at the University has been completed, which will significantly enhance the quality of training we can provide during the camps. We can’t wait to welcome teams throughout the season to experience our upgraded facilities!
