Coaching

Doncaster hockey club is interested in encouraging members and parents to take on coaching and umpiring at all levels. The Junior section of the club is willing to part-financially support members to gain formal coaching and umpiring qualifications. Please contact Ken Scott for further details.
Most of the Hockey Coach education can be completed online.

Play by the Rules is an online resource that provides free education, information and online training to help keep your sport safe, fair and inclusive for everyone www.playbytherules.net.au.

One of the best field position guides for junior players entitled Positional Play and Players Expectations is available from the club website. Every junior player should be given a copy of this sheet.

Advice on how to organise a training session for junior players is also available from the document Training session for juniors (see below).
