What is the Coaching Club Programme?

Scottish Hockey, Hockey Wales and England Hockey have developed a suite of continuous professional development opportunities which are flexible, accessible and inspirational, to better develop and better support you.

As a coach, you play a crucial role in developing and inspiring more, better and happier players…..and this programme will support all coaches, across all environments; whether you coach children, adults or talented players.

So, do you think you inspire players? Do players leave your session with that ‘buzz’ and can’t wait to come back week in, week out come rain or shine? Yes or no, these development opportunities will provide you with the tools to add to your coaching toolkit and support you to inspire more, better and happier players!

 

How will it be delivered?

The programme will be delivered in a variety of ways, from practical delivery, online sessions to e-learning; to ensure this programme is flexible and accessible to your needs. It will also provide you with the time to reflect on your own coaching practice and to network with other coaches.  They are delivered usually over 3 hours in-person or 2.5hours online with 1 hour follow up session.
