Coaching
England Hockey has an accredited coaching platform
In a nutshell, the coaching development pathway provides accessibility and flexibility for a coach to access relevant support and knowledge specific to their role. Depending on whether you just help out at sessions, are a teacher, want to be a coach or are already a coach you are signposted to the appropriate training path.
There are five 3-hour Workshops in a Coaching Club Programme:
Engaging Games for Children

Coaching for Talent
Additionally, there is a 6 hour ‘Introduction to Hockey Coaching’ Workshop for those looking for an introduction to coaching.
All Workshops are available for anyone aged over 16 with an interest in developing their coaching.
