A key part of our Community Programme is the development of new coaches.
With the help of our Sponsors, each year we onboard a number of aspiring juniors on to our Coaching Pathway. This support enables them to become more experienced and to gain recognised England Hockey coaching qualifications, and to then support and lead sessions on across the programme. In the past year alone, we have been working with approximately 15 coaches, as well as supporting many other children that need to gain Duke of Edinburgh experience, through coaching a known sport.
Many of our supported coaches, also volunteer in different junior groups helping to keep the coaching strong within our Club, and several have become Hockey Coaches at Schools and Colleges across the UK. Facilitating players to become more confident leaders, develop their communication and continue to inspire the next generation. Many of the children view these coaches as positive role models and this helps build and grow our sport in the community.
