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:
