Sheffield Hockey Club

Hockey Development Officer

Sheffield Hockey Club first introduced the role of Hockey Development Officer back in 2005, marking our commitment to the development of Hockey within South Yorkshire. Although we do not currently have an HDO in post, it is the intention of the club to employ an HDO as soon as is possible to continue the important work that has been done.

What does the role involve?

The Hockey Development Officer is responsible for working on the development objectives for Sheffield Hockey Club's Junior section, increasing hockey participation and ensuring that all players have the opportunity to achieve their full potential.

The role of the Development Officer is to create partnerships with charities, schools, School Sports Partnerships and other sports clubs to achieve short and long term objectives identified in Sheffield Hockey Club's five year development plan including:

• Creation of a strategic junior development plan to make Sheffield HC a centre of excellence for hockey in South Yorkshire.
• Promote Sheffield Hockey Club and hockey in general in local schools.
• Facilitate hockey competitions

Sheffield Hockey Club welcomes any ideas, suggestions or opportunities that you may wish to discuss. Your support is invaluable to us and we are always keen to hear from proactive parents, wannabe coaches, school staff and students who are interested in supporting the development and delivery of Hockey across Sheffield.
