In partnership with the Australian Sports Commission, Hockey Australia and State & Territory partners are excited to introduce the new, reimagined HockeyEd.
We have adopted the modern approach to Coach & Officials development by shifting to a matrix model with our new accreditation framework. The new framework allows users to navigate their own learning journey, and choose education that is relevant to them, and their environment.
The new framework aims to improve the participant experience, by providing coaches and officials with knowledge on creating safe, fun & inclusive environments.
