Join Kate Jenner our Regional Coaching Coordinator for a Level 1 Coaching Course on Monday 26 June at Maitland Park Bowling Club 6 – 8pm.

What is involved in becoming a Level 1 Coach?

The Level 1 Coach training program is designed to train coaches in the fundamental concepts of coaching, including group management and organisation, developing effective training sessions, performing the role of match-day coach, and ensuring the safety and enjoyment of players.

Who should become a Level 1 Coach?

The program is directed towards teachers, parents, players and coaches who are involved in coaching modified versions of the game or beginner level club hockey.

The Level 1 Coach training program can be accessed as an educational resource for currently accredited individuals, as well as being a training requirement for those wishing to obtain their Level 1 Coach accreditation.

How to get the qualification

There is no pre-requisite qualification needed to undertake the Level 1 Coach training program.

1. View Competencies – To gain a Level 1 Coach accreditation you must be able to demonstrate the required competencies.
2. http://hockeyed.hockey.org.au – To register for an account on our learning platform HockeyEd.
3. Start Level 1 Coach – This requires a HockeyEd account. There is a registration fee of $50 to complete the Level 1 Coach program – Maitland Hockey will be covering the cost for anyone from Maitland attending. The Level 1 Coach program is in three parts:

As we are Sugar Plum Fairies and melt in the rain, we will not be having training tonight. Come to the Maitland Hockey Meeting at Maitland Park Bowling Club at 7.sopm instead. All welcome! See you there!

Sorry but due to the unpredictable weather there will be no training at 5pm to 6pm today. Kate was very disappointed. She hope to come again soon.

Under 13s games tonight 6pm are still on. The fields have drained and we are all looking forward to some great hockey.

Under 6s and Under 9s games 5pm – 6pm have been cancelled for this afternoon due to waterlogged fields. Under 13s (6pm games) we will decide at 5pm if your games can go ahead – it will be dependent on the fields draining before 6pm. We’ll keep you updated.
