ENGLAND HOCKEY – COACHING PATHWAY

The new England / GB Hockey Coaching Pathway information was launched on 31 March 2015. The new philosophy is based on the ‘The Golden Thread’ which includes the following principles:

Fun
Looks like the game
Stretching
Decision Rich
Lots of touches
Questioning coaching style

Additionally, there is a strong emphasis on ‘technical shaping’ and skills development in a game-based context. TBBHC strongly supports this approach as a means of up-skilling our young players.

For more background on the changes go to GB Coaching Principles and EH Single System – Talent Development or find out more by taking a look at this short video:

A full list of the new Courses available can be found here: EH Online Course Booking System or click on the relevant links here:

Coaching Club Programme – 3 hr themed workshops, great intro or bolt-on

Introduction to Hockey Coaching – 6 hr course, also great introduction

UKCC England Hockey Sessional Coach – 2 day course, perfect for lead coaches

UKCC England Hockey Coach – 3 day course, next level up, more advanced coaching

Please note that the Club will pay for the full cost of Coaching Club workshops and Introduction to Hockey Course, and 75% of the cost of the Sessional and England Coach courses. This is providing there is a commitment to use the qualification to the benefit of training and coaching in the Club for the following season. Contact the Director of Hockey via [email protected]
