Hockey India has requested each of the eight Hockey India member units which take part in 5-a-side hockey tournaments in India to nominate two coaches (one female and one male) for the online workshop on coaching in 5-a-side hockey. They will attend the workshop along with the group of nominated Hockey India coaches.
Speaking on the participation of the coaches and technical officials in the AHF workshops, Gyanendro Ningombam, Officiating President, Hockey India said, "I am confident that the workshops will definitely help our officials and coaches improve tremendously and in the process, we will have an opportunity to grow the game of hockey even further in our country. The AHF has always taken steps to ensure that the officials are growing and evolving every day and I would like to thank them for their efforts."
Along with the online workshops exclusively for Hockey India, the AHF will organise online education workshops for all Asian hockey-playing nations in August. Hockey India has nominated a maximum of six candidates for each of these education workshops.
At the end of the AHF online education workshops, participating candidates will receive a participation certificate that will help them in the future FIH AHF course selection.
