What ONE Hockey does

ONE Hockey is a UK-based field hockey coaching services company headquartered in Chester-Le-Street, Durham, founded in January 2008 by former England Hockey Centrally Contracted Coach Simon Lee. The company delivers a diversified portfolio of coaching formats — holiday camps (launched 2011), academies (2015), 1-to-1 coaching, private coaching, indoor camps at Durham University's £40m sports complex (2020), residential camps (2022/23), specialist goalkeeper coaching, and coach education services — to junior players aged 7-16 as the primary segment, with secondary offerings for adult players aged 6-70 and institutional clients (clubs, schools, universities). Over 10,000 participants have attended camps since 2011, with the company crossing 1,000 annual participants by 2019.

The core technology stack is light: a WordPress website with Google Analytics for traffic statistics, Active Network's CampSite platform for regional self-serve booking (separate URLs for North East, Yorkshire, Hampshire, and Ipswich), and a separate scheduling system for 1-to-1 coaching. Sessions use specialist equipment (rebound boards, Crazy Catch, video analysis, skill hurdles) but video analysis appears to be manual coach feedback rather than automated. The competitive advantage is talent-driven rather than technology-driven: the coaching bench includes Olympic Gold Medalist Maddie Hinch, England and GB internationals (Tess Howard, Jack Waller, Rhys Smith), Scotland Senior International Kerry-Anne Hastings, and several former England U18/U21 coaches. The company shares ownership with sister entity ONE Sports Warehouse under ONE Coaching Group UK Ltd.

Revenue is generated entirely on a fee-for-service basis across multiple coaching formats, with pricing varying by coach experience and availability (no published price list). All revenue streams are categorized as either one-time licences (camps, academies) or professional services (1-to-1, private, goalkeeper, coach education). The go-to-market is primarily event-driven (school holiday camps, academy terms) combined with direct-to-consumer online booking. Marketing channels are limited to the company website, a single Facebook page, email enquiry, and equipment referrals through ONE Sports Warehouse. The company is privately held with no external investors, no funding rounds, and no public revenue disclosure.
