Congratulations on being selected for the England Hockey North Stafford Talent Academy. 

The TA Club Shop will open Tuesday 13th October and will close Sunday 31st October. We will provide samples for trying on from 19th October, these will be situated in the Tea Hut at the Trentham pitch.

Please choose the Shipping and then this will show FREE TA collection option at the checkout. We will deliver directly to the TA session. Pick up refers to shipping to local pick up points nationwide which we are unable to offer.

These kit items are essential and players MUST wear NHSC branded shorts, skorts and socks to all training sessions and games (If players already have North Stafford HC shorts, skorts and socks as shown below, there is no need to purchase again, however they must be the same items as shown in the TA shop below). Shirt numbers will be allocated by the TA anager and we will liase with Jon once the window has closed.

• North Stafford TA Branded Playing shirt Home

No other brand of playing kit can be worn for the TA training sessions or matches once the kit is delivered. Plain navy blue items are to be worn until the kit arrives. 

Where finances may be a barrier to purchasing kit, the bursary process can be explained via contact with the TA Manager, Jon Marshall.

Once the window closes on the 31st October, all orders will be exported together, checked and then sent to the manufacturer. We have a turn around time of 4-6 weeks from the club shop closing. We expect delivery to be mid December.
