Ulster Hockey will be running a series of Coach Education and Umpire courses in the coming months.
Qualifications
Fundamentals of Coaching Hockey Course for Volunteers
This course is designed to be an introduction to hockey coaching for volunteers and parents.

The course specifically looks at the coaching needs of those with a limited background in hockey who may also require additional coaching skills to impart their knowledge.
The Fundamentals course is the first course in the hockey coaching pathway and is one of the requirements for candidates wishing to progress to Level 1 and onwards.
