Dekkers (U16 Boys) and Younger (U18 Girls) are both Holcombe players while Davis and Sumner (both U18 Boys) have spent time with the Holcombe Talent Academy.
A small number of additional players are still under assessment due to absence, illness, or injury. The final squads will be announced in January 2025.
Throughout the programme, players will experience a high-challenge, high-support environment with regular training days and camps. They will gain exposure to top European nations, including the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Ireland, and the Home Nations, through camp-based activities and tournaments. Education will be provided by specialists in anti-doping, nutrition, strength and conditioning, injury management, and psychology.
