Hockey couldn't survive without the many hours of training that coaches provide throughout the season! This section is here to provide you with some top tips on coaching younger players. It's also a great place to gain some ideas for games that you can play with your teams. If you have any ideas, games or coaching tips that you would like to share with your fellow Youth Leaders, please email them to the IHA on info@hockey.ie.
It is easy to sometimes forget that an umpire is as essential to hockey as having a goalkeeper or players. Check the rule book, without umpires, a match can't go ahead! Umpiring is so much more than having a good knowledge of the rules (although that definitely helps) and there are lots of other aspects to take on board when umpiring such as good communication, fitness and stong leadership. This section of the website is here to help you develop some of those very areas! If you have any experiences or top tips that you would like to share, please send them on in to info@hockey.ie
If you pride yourself on being super-organised, then you're probably a team manager! Buses, lunch, equipment, goalie gear, players - you name it, the team manager looks after it! Being a team manager can be a great role as you get to deal with players, parents, coaches, umpires and anyone and everyone in the club! This area is a great place to learn more about what it means to be a team manager and some ideas on how to brush up your team management skills. If you want to share some of your experiences about being a team manager or if you have some tips, send them on in to the IHA on info@hockey.ie.
Development = the future of hockey. Development is all about making hockey a bigger and better sport! This includes everything from introducing hockey to new players to making sure we have the best coaches in the game to holding onto people in the sport. However, development isn't something that needs to be done on a national level - it starts right in the clubs! Check out this section of the website to get some ideas on how you can further development our sport in your local club or school. If you have any top tips you'd like to submit or you'd like to share some of your experiences developing hockey, email us on info@hockey.ie.
Every season, hockey is made up of hundreds of events from matches to fundraisers to end of season bbqs to youth blitzes. And all of these have one thing in common - someone was the event organiser behind them all! This section of the website is all about helping you to set up events that are perfect for your club, especially for your junior sections. This includes organising the biggest and best blitzes as well as some ideas for more whacky events that you could run in your club. If you have any ideas or suggestions that you would like to share, email us on info@hockey.ie.
Hockey isn't all about being out on the pitch - there's plenty of room to let your creative juices flow too! And being a Press Officer is the ideal way to put your writing, reporting and even photography skills to use. For every big event that your club holds from matches to socials, it's a great idea to record the details for newsletters, websites, blogs or social networking sites. This section is all about helping you in your role as Press Officer so check out the documents below. If you have any stories, ideas or tips to share, email them into us at info@hockey.ie.
