Regional Coach Development

The Hockey Victoria Coach and Umpire Development Project is a statewide initiative aimed at strengthening the coaching and officiating workforce across Hockey Victoria’s 12 Regional Hockey Associations. Through the delivery of targeted development and accreditation sessions, the project seeks to elevate the skills, knowledge, capability, and capacity of local coaches and umpires.

By investing in grassroots education and support, this project not only promotes consistent standards and a higher quality of play across the state, but also builds sustainable pathways for ongoing talent development. Each participating Association will benefit from tailored sessions designed to meet their specific needs, ensuring inclusive and impactful growth in coaching and umpiring.

Foundation Lead Coach Accreditation Course

Foundation Lead Coach

The Foundation Lead Coach is the second accreditation in the coaching framework and is targeted at supporting beginner coaches who want to begin creating positive environments for participants and taking the lead of teams.

This accreditation is completed in two parts. The first is an online course that can be completed at any time (this step MUST be completed in order to enrol into part two). Then the second is a face-to-face workshop where you get to implement your learning. The workshop is expected to take approximately 4 hours to complete.

To enrol in this accreditation, follow the step-by-step guide here.
