SMALL STICK COURSES:
Are you a first time coach needing some ideas for the 2011 season ?
If you have never coached before, or haven’t coached for a while, and you want to learn how to coach modern turf hockey, come along to a Small Sticks Coaching Session and bring a friend with you as well. There are two sessions available, one for coaches of 5-8 year olds and another for coaches of 9-12 year olds, and they will be held over two nights (1 ½ hours each session). The sessions will have some theory content but the real action takes place on the turf with interactive drills and skills. Please bring sports shoes and a stick if you have one. You are advised to wear shin pads and a mouth guard every time you play or train for hockey but it is not a requirement for this session. You will receive a folder of HNZ resources, a log-on to a drills website, and a flash certificate for your effort. Taking these courses in the off season could have you better prepared for the 2011 season.
