Head Coach

About the Club

Addiscombe Hockey Club is looking for an enthusiastic and passionate Head Coach for the 2025/26 season and beyond.

Addiscombe HC is a friendly club in the heart of Croydon, with pitches and Clubhouse easily accessible by public transport. Recently refurbished bar, and exceptionally social members, Addiscombe is the place to be for hockey in Croydon.

We have four men's teams, two ladies teams and a thriving junior section with over 150 members aged 4-18. All our adult teams play competitive hockey in South East England. 

About the role

We are seeking a talented Head Coach to lead and support our junior and adult sections. You'll set the coaching strategy, create session plans and provide development to our team of paid and volunteer coaches.

Our training programme for the club takes place on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, and Sunday mornings. Whilst you won't be expected to attend all sessions, it'll be important that you are able to regularly drop in at least once a week to a session.

About you

You'll ideally be Level 2 qualified, or have significant coaching experience across adult and junior hockey, and will have previously set a coaching strategy for a hockey club. 

You'll be friendly, personable, and a great communicator, and able to motivate a team of paid coaches and volunteers. 

Commitment will be approximately 2-3 hours a week, and remuneration will be dependent on experience - starting from £35 per hour.

Men's coach - We are seeking an additional coach on Wednesday evenings from 7.45pm to 9.30pm (starting from £30 p/hr)
Junior coaches - We have a range of coaching opportunities on Sunday mornings between 9am and 12.30pm depending on the age group (starting from £30 p/hr)
