Get involved and support national team programs domestically and on tour

Field Hockey Canada is seeking to have managers in by the middle of June. Share and apply today to express your interest
These are volunteer positions that have Field Hockey Canada support, mentorship and connect into our team of teams ethos, supporting the Field Hockey Canada mission, vision and goals. The purpose of the Team of Teams initiative is to connect our Canadian hockey community. It is an approach to how we are structured, how we operate and how we live our values. It recognizes that we are united by the sport that we love and can accomplish amazing feats while working together.
In all of these roles, you will have the opportunity to tour with one of our national teams which is an exciting element to team management. In addition, we are looking for specific admin and some on field support to support our coaches and office staff.
The Tour Manager position can be structured around your day job or studies, and travel would be limited and team dependant. Tour dates are known in advance and much of the logistics around these tours would be handled by our office team at Field Hockey Canada. Your role between tours would be a supportive capacity (with the load being dictated to by the team you would be working with), whilst bridging the gap between our lean Field Hockey Canada core staff and our athletes. While on tour, your role would be facilitating an organized, positive and performance-focused environment, whilst also creating a positive touring culture and safe space for all athletes and staff.
While parents are welcome to apply, we will be steering away from direct relations within teams.
It is an exciting opportunity to represent your country, to make an impact and learn new skills. Our senior flagship teams will be kept for experienced Team Managers however there will be a pathway available for Team Managers to apply for these top two positions once experience has been gained.
The build-up period to a tour would be a commitment of approximately five hours per week, four months ahead of a tour departure. A tour commitment is usually between 10 to 17 days and does require international travel. Tours require absolute dedication and a hands on approach, and many hours behind the scenes. Following the tour, there will be a post-tour wrap up and debrief review. All necessary costs while on tour are covered and reimbursed by Field Hockey Canada.
Managers will be provided mentorship to aid in the successful onboarding; we have systems in place to set you up for success and we have a Team of Teams approach that empowers you to activate your role within our framework.
If you feel this role is for you or are interested in exploring something new, we would love to hear from you. Please complete the application form at the link below
