The AK Hockey Online Coach Toolbox aligns with the Hockey New Zealand online coaching portal. It involves both online (a 2 hour theory course) and practical components. HNZ has developed this new framework based on continuous improvement through increasing effective coaching skills, knowledge and understanding. Small Sticks, Youth and Club courses will replace the existing courses (Getting Started and Level One). The current HNZ Level Two will remain until new courses are introduced. To stay ‘current’, a coach who has participated in a Small Sticks, Youth or Club workshop must attend at least one extension module per year. There will be four courses available and registrations will be open throughout the year.
