Good Morning all,

I thought I would take the opportunity to send out some information on the coaching courses in the local area. All course are posted to the England Hockey website and here is the link to the page concerned.

http://www.englandhockey.co.uk/courses.asp?section=2031&sectionTitle=Find+a+Course%2FWorkshop

 

the Hockey Hub has been developed to support coaches and umpires and is well worth looking at especially for  those of you not familiar with the current coaching methodology, the Golden thread section sets out the aims and principles of how to integrate the National Development Themes into your practice in a fun and enjoyable way.

if you are familiar with the “you are the coach” and the  Golden Thread in action sections are great places to get ideas from.

Any clubs currently working towards or considering Club Mark will need their welfare to attend this course as part of the criteria.

After a few years break Corby Hockey Club is reforming and starting back by offering sessions for boys and girls aged 7-11. These will be held at Corby Business Academy on Thursday evenings starting on the 30th March 5:45pm – 6:30pm. The first two sessions will be free and then cost £2 per week after that.

The sessions will be delivered by qualified coaches and involve lots of fun skill based games. No previous experience, or equipment is required, so just turn up with a drink and have fun!

Participants aren't required to book on in advance, but if you have any further questions regarding the sessions prior to them starting then please call Sarah Ward on 07887 500545.

I have arranged two evenings at Kettering Hockey Club to run a Club Chair Forum on the topic of Leadership in our clubs, as one of the 7 elements of “What makes a great club” identified by club members in our 2014 survey.   We are inviting Kettering HC, Long Buckby, Northampton HC,  Oundle HC, Welford HC, Wellingborough HC and Wootton Wanderers HC.

First evening – Wednesday 22nd February 

Follow up evening – Tuesday 28th June

One of the most significant challenges we face in clubs is the reliance on a few volunteers to manage the whole club, this workshop is designed to help us plan a way to inspire a broader range of volunteers to support us in our desire to grow, develop, manage their activities and generally run their clubs.

I would like to invite you and key volunteers from your club to attend these two evenings, the first is to explore the topic of Leadership:-

• What Leadership  means to us
• How we lead our clubs
• Examine practical examples of how we us Leadership in our clubs
• What can we learn from each other
• How we change the way we Lead and Inspire volunteers
• What are going to change.

 

The second workshop will be to review our progress and share how we have increased the pool of volunteers at our clubs and reduced our workload! 

Please email Melanie on east@englandhockey.co.uk to say if you can attend on the 22nd and who you will be bringing to the workshop.  The second workshop will be to follow up on the progress in time for the off season when we will be trying to recruit a new cohort of volunteers.
