Alongside the Foundation Lead Coaching accreditation course scheduled for July 2, we will also be running a practical skills clinic for all coaches. This session will serve as an introduction to the Foundation Lead Coaching course, offering an opportunity to gain insight into the knowledge and skills it covers. It is a great chance for coaches to get a feel for the course content, engage in hands-on learning, and begin working towards their accreditation in 2026.

Please bring all necessary playing gear, including your stick, protective equipment, water bottle, and a notebook, as you will be participating in some skills during the evening. To be an effective coach, it’s important to understand how skills and drills work from a player’s perspective! A light snack will be provided, so please let us know if you have any specific dietary requirements. We are also looking for one goalkeeper with full gear to assist with skills-based activities—this won’t be required for the entire session. If you’re interested in helping out as the GK, please contact Kate Gifford.
