The players will run skills sessions to help players refine skills they already have and show new skills / techniques the players may not have seen before. There will be game elements to these sessions - as fun and enjoyment are key elements to a quality hockey session.
Otago Hockey staff - Hymie Gill and Jolene Casey will be supporting these coaching sessions. We will also offer coaching development opportunities for any coaches wanting to enhance their coaching knowledge. The coach’s session will be connected with the U15 age group - 12.30pm - 3.00pm. The coaches will begin with a 20-minute introduction meeting then follow the skills sessions with the players to observe and talk about the drills that are being covered.
