Skills & Coaching
Beginners Level Coaching Course
It is recognized that coaching courses must be approached a little differently in the remote and indigenous communities as these communities do not have access to the facilities and the resources of the general hockey community.
Teaching and delivery of basic hockey skills can still be achieved by modifying existing coaching courses to ensure that they are communicated in a language and form that members of the respective communities understand and appreciate.
