For some time there has been a need to provide information about coaching, mostly on coaching players. At the moment, you should discuss coaching opportunities with the Chairman of Coaching for the Midlands, Caroline Frye  on 0121-704 3280 or E-mail: carolinefrye@blueyonder.co.uk.

  There may be DVDs or some other means available to improve your knowledge and skills, which will vary from person to person. Coaching Courses will be shown on the Development, Courses page. Coaching of umpires will be dealt with in the Umpires section.

 The Midlands Coaching Newsletter - November 2008 was sent to all coaches on the Midlands Database, so if you want something more up-to-date, contact the Midlands Office, midlands@englandhockey.org  with your details and they will add you to the mailing list.

BURSARY for L1 and L2 coaching awards  

  For several years the LRHA has held a small fund to assist applicants towards costs - at present (2010) it is £50 towards L1 and £100 for L2. There was still a small fund left for allocation in 2010 when the England Hockey Board supplied a L2 Fast track course at Lichfield Hockey Club.

Further details of the current situation for all courses is available from EHB Midland Office midlands@englandhockey.org
