Gateshead Storm would like to thank them for their time and effort in making it to the events lead by North East Thunder Head Coach Michael Heap.

Embed the Pathway is a program of coach development and player development days in non-selective environments, which aims to develop all talent within the age groups of U12-U14s. The aim is to grow a greater pool of talent to improve standards and develop potential England players. It is a starting point, which answers the question; to make my players better what should I be doing?
This will lead to:
• Improved quality of the player
• Leave the player in their own environment longer – increased inclusivity
• More players getting more opportunities to demonstrate their potential
• Regular focused, player profiling.
In order to design this age specific curriculum many leading coaches and youth specialists were consulted. This is also under-pinned by cutting edge research as what attributes need to be developed by young players as they move along the talent pathway.
