Winchmore Hill & Enfield HC: Head Coach

Winchmore Hill & Enfield Hockey Club is a friendly yet ambitious club, catering for a wide range of playing ability and experience, including a burgeoning youth section that is transitioning from junior hockey to the adult teams.

We are proud to offer an exciting role for someone who is looking to challenge their skills as a Hockey Coach.

The current role is to deliver an engaging and developmental coaching programme to our senior members, with Saturday availability to coach home teams being desirable but not essential to the role.

As Head Coach you will design, communicate and deliver weekly training sessions for our adult section, currently formed of 2 men’s and 2 women’s teams with a wide range of skills and playing experience. Training takes place on Wednesday evenings, 7:30-9:30pm, at Southbury Leisure Centre in Enfield, with match days on Saturdays.

This is an exciting opportunity for a coach to bring their own energy and hockey experience to the club, developing and nurturing players who are keen to listen and learn.
