Inline hockey is designed around helping players improve — and for Under‑10s, that makes a huge difference.
✅ Real development and progression
Structured leagues and game days help players build confidence, improve their skills, and see real progress over time
✅ Play up an age group
Players can step up when ready
→ More game time
→ Faster learning
→ Experience against stronger players
✅ Ability-based training (not just age)
Sessions are built around development level
→ Players learn at the right pace
→ Confidence grows quicker
→ Extra sessions support progression
🦁 And the opportunities don’t stop with club training…
Inline hockey gives players access to extra development opportunities across the UK, including:
✅ Desert Rats development sessions (Rene)
• 2–3 specialist training sessions throughout the year
• Held around league breaks
• Focused on high-level development and progression
✅ Flamingos / Silky Mittz sessions (Brian)
• Hosted across rinks around the country
• Open development sessions with a mix of players
• Great for exposure and experience
•Both Desert Rats & Flamingos also offer chances to play in the biggest inline hockey tournaments around the world, NARCH in USA & PAMA CUP in Germany as well as other tournaments in Spain, Africa, France and more
✅ Growing national development opportunities
More sessions, camps, and training opportunities are appearing across UK rinks every year
🦁 That means more ice time, more coaching, and more chances for players to keep improving beyond their weekly sessions
For young players, it’s not just about playing — it’s about being part of a pathway that helps them grow.
