After an extensive global search, in April
Lisa Letchford OLY was announced as
the College’s new Head of Hockey. Lisa
has an outstanding track record as both
a player and a coach, capped 97 times
for England and Great Britain, playing at
the World Cup in 2006 and the Beijing
Olympics in 2008. Lisa’s coaching career
took her to Belgium where she gained
invaluable experience, becoming head
coach of the Belgium Girls’ U18 squad
and Assistant Coach to the Men’s Indoor
National Team. In 2020, she and her
husband Simon returned to the UK to
allow Lisa to take up the position of Lead
Talents Development Coach for England
Hockey and Head Coach of the England
U18 Girls’ squad. We look forward to
welcoming both Lisa and Simon to the
team.
