Coach Required for Madras FP

Madras FP’s Men’s Hockey Club is looking to recruit a

particular working with our younger players. 

Madras FP’s, based in St Andrews, Fife, is a small club of
around 35-40 players, currently running two Teams in the Midland
Regional Leagues (the second team is our development squad). We
already work closely with local primary and secondary schools in an
attempt to provide the club with a regular feed of new players,
part of your role will be to support our aim of developing their
early and continuing interest in hockey. We currently train as a
group on a Thursday evening from 19:00 till 20.00 at the University
of St Andrews Sports Centre.

Your role as coach would be to plan and deliver – engaging,
stimulating and productive Thursday evening sessions.  Within
the session you would be expected to dedicate the majority of your
time to working with our players, particularly the 14-18 years
olds, to ensure they have a solid grasp of the basic skills
required to play the game, developing their abilities to a level
where they are able to contribute to the success of our two teams
individually and as a team including at set pieces! We are hopeful
of recruiting an assistant coach from the local student community
to help with the running of training sessions and part of your role
will be to lead, develop and support this individual.

You should have experience of coaching youth hockey at a
development level and of programme planning and organisation.

qualification. You will report to the Club Committee comprising the
office bearers, meetings are generally held quarterly.  A fee
