What is available? The Three Tier Approach
Our Educational programmes function on a three tier structure to train and support our members’ coaches. Each tier is tied to the FIH Academy, so your coach gains not just experience and knowledge, but also the required competences as set out in the Academy programme.

Hear from the participants – An inside view
Coaches 4 Europe coaches Carl Ramagge (GIB) and Tatjana Dimitrieska (BUL) tell us about their experience with the programme. They both bring us a perspective from smaller hockey associations and how exposure to experienced mentors and participants from different backgrounds helps their development. Sharing knowledge and challenging one another is one of the strongest assets on the programme.
