What's involved with hockey coaching at summer camp?

As a hockey coach at camp, you'll teach hour-long sessions about 4-5 times a day. You'll teach your campers the basics about hockey - and it's up to you if you want to run some hockey coaching drills or just play shinny. You'll be able to improve your own hockey skills, and help your campers improve theirs.

FAQs

How can I apply to for hockey jobs at summer camp?

Simple - start an application with Camp Leaders, and fill out hockey as one of your top skills. Add as much detail as possible about what you'll bring to your hockey coaching job - whether that's skills and experience or just passion. Camp Directors will then be able to assess if you’re a good fit, and invite you to their camp.

How many children will I be coaching in one session?

Campers will come down to the hockey court in age group divisions of varying skill levels. Groups will be about 10-30 people, but generally somewhere in the middle. As the hockey coach, you'll just need to get the equipment and drills organized, pick the teams, and get playing!

How can I make my hockey coaching application stronger without any qualifications?

Try finding ways to gain experience working with children. If you can find a local hockey team to work or volunteer with, great - but you could also look into hockey coaching courses.
