techniques the players may not have seen before. There will be game elements to
these sessions - as fun and enjoyment are key elements to a quality hockey
session.
Otago Hockey staff - Hymie Gill
and Jolene Casey will be supporting these coaching sessions. We will also offer
coaching development opportunities for any coaches wanting to enhance their
coaching knowledge. The coach’s session will be connected with the U15 age

about the drills that are being covered.
