Olympic Solidarity Hockey Coaching Course opens tomorrow
The Guyana Hockey Board (GHB) will stage an Olympic Solidarity Coaching Course beginning from tomorrow, Monday, September 26 and will run until Saturday, October 1.
Shiv Jagday
World renowned hockey coach, Mr. Shiv Jagday, who is a former national coach of both Canada and the USA, has been selected as the facilitator of this course. Mr. Jagday has coached players from the junior level right up to the Olympic and World Cup level with great success and is a respected member of the International Hockey Federation (FIH) coaching fraternity. Born in Punjab, India, Mr. Jagday grew up learning from the best in the game at the time before moving to North America where he now coaches professionally.
The course will be attended by 25 participants, both male and female, who are all local hockey coaches of various levels. Mr. Jagday has tailored a programme to include the basics of coaching juniors right up to the team tactics of senior level competition.
Among the topics to be covered in the schedule are steps to develop young players, basic skills of the game, systems, offensive and defensive principles, press tactics and set plays. According to President of the Guyana Hockey Board (GHB) Mr. Jagday has been to Guyana on three occasions before and had come for the first time over 20 years ago. Fernandes attributes much of Guyana’s progress in hockey over the years to the influence of Jagday who has taught all of Guyana’s successful coaches over the past 15 years at some time.
The course will be conducted primarily at the GCC ground Bourda while some of the sessions will also take place at the national gymnasium. There will be theory and practical sessions twice per day beginning at 09:00hrs to 12:00hrs and then again from 15:00hrs to 18:00hrs. The course is made possible through the GOA with the provision of an Olympic Solidarity grant.
