Session #3 of the 2026 Regional Coach Development will provide coaches with insight into game-day coaching and management. Content will include in-depth ways that coaches can communicate with players, nurture growth and development and adapt their strategies. Technical points, such as specific skills, will also be focused on practically.

This session will be practical, with pitch time to demonstrate skills and how to teach such, and trial new coaching styles in a group.

No prior experience needed; all members who are interested in the elements and foundations of coaching are encouraged to attend this free-of-charge event. However, this session will draw upon learnings from CDS #1 & CDS #2 - meaning attendance at CDS #1 & CDS #2 is highly encouraged.

Please bring a laptop/device, pen/pencil and notepad, hockey stick, suitable attire for pitch work and a drink bottle.
