Guildford Hockey Club’s schools programme introduces children from across Surrey and Hampshire to hockey and, through regular coaching, fosters a lifelong passion for the sport.
Guildford coaches deliver hockey to over 3000 children in more than 20 local schools across Surrey and Hampshire. Highlights include our primary school hockey tournaments held in partnership with Charterhouse School, and our coach development programme for staff and parents who want to get involved delivering hockey in the community.
Nicky’s role is to oversee the delivery of outstanding coaching in local schools. This involves recruiting, training, and supporting a team of great coaches; working with schools to understand their coaching needs; running hockey festivals and fixtures; and fostering the link between school hockey and opportunities to play at local clubs.
With over twenty years as a primary school teacher, Liz’s role is to make sure that our relationship with each school runs smoothly, that we welcome new partners schools, that the programme has access to long-term funding, and that the coaching team are organized, supported, and able to deliver outstanding hockey sessions.
As Director of Hockey, Dan has the overall responsibility for delivering the club’s mission of ‘Great Hockey for Everyone.’ The school programme allows more people to try hockey for the first time and a chance to develop their passion for the sport by learning new skills, having fun, and forging friendships on and off the pitch. In practice, Dan delivers coach development sessions to teachers, runs masterclass sessions in schools, and helps to plan and how the programme develops over time.
