Giselle Ansley leads summer camp guest list
Posted by Ashley Hough on 28 April 2017
This year our summer camps are going to be a little bit different- and bigger than ever before.
For the first time we are going to have access to two pitches on-site at Marjon, giving us more options than ever before. Not only that, we are to be joined by some special guests. This contingent of guests is lead by Olympic Gold medallist Giselle Ansley who returns to her old club ground to inspire and teach the next generation in the hope that they too can achieve success.
Giselle played much of her junior hockey at Plymouth Marjon hockey club, learning and developing skills before moving on to greater things. In 2015 Giselle won her first major honour, as England won the European Championships held at the London Olympic venue. In 2016 she then went on to go one further, as Great Britain secured a historic victory in Rio to secure a first EVER Olympic gold in womens hockey. In 2017 she also secured some incredible personal acheivements. Firstly she was awarded an MBE in the new years' honours list, then she was also awarded player of the season in the Investec Women’s Hockey League as voted by players after topping the goalscoring charts as Surbiton (her current team) took the top spot.
As you can see Giselle has achieved great things in the sport and now looks to pass on her knowledge to the next generation of future hockey stars.
The Camps take place this year over four days from July 25th to July 28th and booking will be open shortly so keep up to date on the website to make sure you don't miss out!
