Hockey Fitness, Nutrition, and Fun Training
We believe hockey is life, and that requires more than just stick skills. Our training focuses on the whole athlete through expert conditioning and proper nutrition.
Fitness is a key component of our camp. Here, our players are going through the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test, a professional-grade assessment to measure their endurance and progress.

About More Than a Game: Fitness, Nutrition, and Fun
Training at our camp goes beyond the turf. We partner with The Fit Squadron for agility conditioning and celebrity nutritionist Ryan Fernando to teach kids how to fuel their bodies. Whether your child is a beginner or looking to advance their game, they learn the discipline and healthy habits that real athletes use.
The Holistic Hockey Approach
At Jude Felix Hockey Academy, we know that performance happens both on and off the field. A player needs to be physically sharp, nutritionally sound, and mentally engaged. That is why our summer camp, which we call 'Giving is Fun-Da,' is built around three pillars: skill, strength, and fueling the body.
Why Conditioning Matters
Hockey is a high-intensity sport that demands explosive speed and endurance. We have partnered with The Fit Squadron to bring professional-grade strength and conditioning to our camps. Your child will work through agility drills, Yo-Yo tests, and coordination exercises that build the foundation for faster play and injury prevention. This is not just about running laps, it is about teaching the body to respond quickly under pressure.
Fueling for Performance
One of the biggest gaps in youth sports is understanding nutrition. We bring in celebrity nutritionist Ryan Fernando to hold interactive workshops for our campers. We teach kids (and parents) about hydration, the importance of eating real food, and why proper fueling is the battery for their performance. Seeing a young athlete choose a banana after a session because they understand it gives them energy? That is the kind of change we are looking for.
Training Philosophy
Our motto is 'Hockey for All,' and we take that seriously. We operate at Rush Arena in Cooke Town, providing a world-class artificial turf experience for every child, regardless of their background or current skill level. Whether it is your child's first time holding a stick or they are aiming for a state-level team, our FIH-certified coaches and guest mentors ensure every session is tailored to their needs. We build complete athletes who learn, grow, and have fun doing it.
