Ulster Hockey will be running a Level Two Coaching Course in September/October 2021.
The Level 2 Coaching Course is designed for people coaching teams who wish to advance their coaching skills and knowledge. The course prepares coaches to develop skills over a series of sessions through the development of game based practices.
