An international hockey star turned up to coach Maidenhead U12 girls on Sunday.

Chloe Rogers, who represented Great Britain at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, took the two-hour session with 55 girls at Altwood CoE School.

The Leicester and England player moved from her Marlow home to Maidenhead in September last year.

She was invited to coach the girls by her letting agent, whose daughter plays for the club.

"The girls worked really hard and there were a lot of them here, which was brilliant to see," she said. "I do a few of these things and if we can keep them enjoying the sport they'll hopefully carry on playing."

The 25-year-old hopes to compete at the 2012 Games in London. She is one of 30 players selected for a preliminary training squad, which will be reduced to 16 for the Olympics.

"Hopefully I'm going in the right direction, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll be picked," she added.
