Congratulations to all Midlands PC players selected.
As the weather gets colder there is potential for hockey pitches to freeze, and training sessions and matches could possibly be cancelled or cut short.
You will need to check the Midlands PC Twitter feed reguarly to find out if the pitches are frozen and training sessions and matches are cancelled . Please note, email and text messages will not be sent out to individual Performance Centre players.
Pitch inspections will normally be carried out at least one hour before the training session or match start time. You are advised to keep checking the Midlands PC Twitter after this time as late pitch inspections may be carried out to assess any deterioration in conditions. Twitter messages may not be uploaded if sessions are cut short therefore if the weather is cold you should remain near the pitches to collect players.
We will always endeavour to get messages uploaded on Twitter as soon as possible however in some circumstances messages may not be uploaded in time to prevent players starting on long journeys. Midlands PCs cannot be held responsible for any wasted journeys to PC activities due to weather conditions.
As the weather gets noticeably colder you are reminded to arrive with appropriate NAMED clothing for all weather conditions.
Coats (ideally waterproof), tracksuit bottoms, sweatshirts and leggings must be dark in colour, and plain with no school, club or county logo - unless they are official PC kit.

Yuvraj's journey
Many thanks to Yuvraj for his participation in this fantastic England Hockey video. Also to all the other East Midlands PC players and coaches who are featured.
We wish Yuvraj and all other Midlands PC players good luck in the NAGs assessment and observation phase during September and October. Good luck also to those players who are continuing on the Player Pathway at the start of this new season.
This video aims to highlight the experience that Futures Cup provides our young and aspiring players in the Player Pathway and for you to experience what an International Competition environment may be like.
It is so much more than just about what happens on the pitch, Futures Cup aims to help you, the players, prepare to perform through training and education, team meetings and performance video analysis and real-life match, training, eating and resting schedules.
Futures Cup is an experience that players will remember for the rest of their lives! We hope all our Midlands PC players enjoyed their experience and enjoy the video.
Keep an eye out for some of our Midlands PC players - representing Pennine Pumas in black and Mercia Lynx in red.

Lost Property - Please remember to clearly name all your PC clothing and other items you bring to PC sessions. We will collect items after every session and if these are named we will endeavour to return items. If items are unnamed we will keep hold of them for 6 weeks and then dispose of them.
Jewellery Update - There is no need to wear jewellery to any PC sessions, it could easily get lost and if worn may cause injury to yourself or other players, especially if it catches on clothing or equipment. We also cannot guarantee that items will be safe if stored in kit bags. Please leave all jewellery at home.
