Will Powley has been leading on a new coaching development scheme – which has introduced 13 new coaches into the England Hockey coaching framework – and continues throughout the second half of this season. To date, the sessions have been led by experienced performance and junior coach, and England Hockey tutor Matt Ingram. With his help coaches have already started to adapt their sessions and feel more confident in taking sessions.
After Christmas we’re hoping to take this development further and the group are going to be undertaking workshops on coaching elements to further improve their skills, as well as having observed sessions with England Hockey tutors to help provide feedback on coaching style, content and delivery.
This scheme is fully funded by the club, and if you’re interested in starting coaching (you need not have any experience) do get in touch.
