Hockey Coaching - EHB Hockey Level 1 Coaching Course
At Futures Sports we run the EHB Level 1 Hockey Coaching Course. On completion of this course you will become an EHB accredited Level 1 hockey coach, which is the minimum qualification for those involved in hockey coaching.
The EHB Hockey Coaching Level 1 Award provides the essential skills and knowledge necessary to run a safe and enjoyable hockey coaching session which introduces new players to the game.
All candidates must be a minimum of 16 years old on the commencement of the course.
A pre-requisite to this course is to either hold a Sports Coach UK Safeguarding and Protecting Children Workshop certificate or to complete the England Hockey Safeguarding course on line. A certificate for either of these will need to be produced on the first day of the course.
As part of the National Coaching Certificate the EHB Level One Hockey Coaching Award enables the candidate to perform junior hockey coaching sessions under the supervision of a more senior hockey coach.
Level 1 hockey coaches aged 18 and over can obtain insurance and practice in the role of EHB Hockey Coaching Assistant alongside a fully qualified Level 2 EHB Hockey Coach.
The EHB Level One Hockey Coaching Courses are suitable for those with some experience of playing hockey and perhaps with practice in helping in a coaching/teaching environment.
The course length is a minimum of 17 hours contact time and is run over a minimum of three separate occasions. A formal (summative) assessment is included within the course along with a short theory exam paper. The candidate will be informed after the assessment if they have been awarded the qualification.
As well as our top-class hockey coaching courses for adults, our hockey schools are great for children to develop their hockey skills
