Following the success of last year, the IHA has announced its third annual Goalkeeping Course, in association with Mercian, will take place in UCD on August 30 and 31 2008. The Mercian Schools of Hockey have designed this course to cater for the needs of the modern goalkeeper involved at school, club, county and international levels.
Each course will be led by England and GB legend Simon Mason (pictured in action and at last year's event) and the Irish National coaches, Nigel Henderson and Rudi Wortmann. Each course is aimed at keepers aged 12 and upwards and on leaving the course they will be assessed and given guidance on how to improve within their school and/or club environment. The price to take part is €135 (or £90). Single day rates are also available. Contact the IHA on 01 7163261 or email Mick McKinnon (mick.mckinnon@hockey.ie) for further details.
On the same weekend, the IHA will be offering the chance for coaches to receive Goalkeeping Coach Accreditation for the first time as part of the annual goalkeeping course. The course will again be led by Simon Mason and will involve both on-pitch ideas and classroom sessions. It takes place in the UCD & Montrose Hotel from August 29 to 31. Application forms are available from Mick McKinnon.
