Since the launch of Hockey India Coaching Education Pathway in 2019, over 1200 coaches from across India have benefitted from the programme which is a simplified education structure that consists of a combination of web-based modules and face-to-face interactive courses, underpinned by a competency-based assessment process, which helps the Coaches in progressing to higher levels.
A simplified education structure aims to help in developing coaches from the grassroots level into world-class coaches of the high performance/international level. Once a candidate progresses from the Hockey India Coaching Education Pathway, they are then eligible to enrol for the FIH Academy Level 1 Course, and so on.
"We are once again delighted to organize the Hockey India Coaching Education Pathway Level '1' & Level '2' Coaching Course on-ground in New Delhi/ Bhubaneswar. The various online coaching courses conducted last year have proven to be quite effective. But the candidates of this course will have the opportunity to increase their learning in an on-ground scenario. In order to keep everyone involved safe and healthy, we will ensure that all the Covid-19 protocols and safety measures will be in place, while the course is being held in New Delhi/ Bhubaneswar," stated Gyanendro Ningombam, President, Hockey India.
