Coaching Courses
 
There are currently three coaching awards accredited by England Hockey, not including the Leadership Certificate, which is now a generic certificate including umpiring and administration.
 
Over the past few years the content of the coaching awards has been updated and standardized to ensure that they reflect the development and requirements of the modern game. Details of the course content, requirements and criteria are available by clicking on the following links:
 


The old HA and AEWHA Awards are still recognised as qualifications if you have a certificate of proof. However, it is essential that you keep up to date with technical and tactical developments as well as the generic requirements. 

 


England Hockey Coaching Awards
 
Level 1


The Level 1 course will result in you becoming an accredited Level 1 coach. This is the minimum qualification for those who are involved in hockey coaching sessions working under supervision – for example, a Level 2 coach may be working on another part of the pitch and will assume responsibility for the session.

Level 2

 

The Level 2 award is designed “...for those who wish to coach the techniques of the game beyond an introductory level and apply them to tactical play and the coaching of teams.” It is compulsory for all Level 2 coaches to have an Emergency 1st Aid Certificate and have attended the sports coach UK Safeguarding and Child Protection Course.

Level 3


The Level 3 qualification is aimed "...those who wish to coach tactical play and team play to a more advanced level. The prerequisite to attend the Level 3 course is to have completed the Level 2 coach award. The course is only suitable for those who have experience of coaching hockey in a variety of settings. Ideally a club head coach would have the Level 3 Award."
