Field Hockey Canada’s Coaching Pathway prepares coaches from the grassroots, community levels to high-performance. An athlete-centred, coach led model ensures a holistic approach intended to serving the growth of the game.
The Field Hockey Canada / NCCP Coaching Pathway is aligned to FHC’s Long Term Field Hockey Development (LTFHD) Strategy.
The goal is an ‘athlete-centred, coach-led’ model, with the pathway serving both the community and performance streams of athlete development.
This flexible delivery model enables clubs, schools, provincial sport organizations and other community leaders to deliver courses which suit the particular needs of their own environment.
NOTE: Field Hockey Canada is working with International Hockey Federation (FIH) and the Coaching Association of Canada (CAC) to create a new Competition Development pathway. The new pathway will be submitted in July, 2023 to the CAC for approval. Please check back mid August for full details.
