The Victoria Junior Field Hockey Association will be hosting Field Hockey BC’s Fundamentals Coaching Course in March. This course is intended for coaches that:

• are working with under 12 age groups;
• are themselves an under 18 player who has an interest in coaching in the Junior League; OR
• a parent volunteer who are new to coaching and to the game of field hockey.

The Victoria Field Hockey Association encourages Junior League Coaches who have no or minimal coach training to take this course.

There is no cost to attend.

The course is 6 hours in length split up into 3 hours of theory and practical learning. You will learn the basics of how to deliver safe, fun and effective practice sessions, how to incorporate fundamental skills and tactics from facilitators who have coached in the junior league and helped design the practice sessions for the junior league. The course will be facilitated by Ali Baggott and Milena Gaiga.
