Coaching Roller Hockey in Africa

 

Our players range in age from 5 years to 18, both boys and girls. We also have the above 20 group, which is made up of men and women.

The coach would be expected to run all training sessions and also draw up teams for the tournaments. We have only 5 tournaments in a year, and these are being hosted by the different clubs. Training sessions start around 4pm and usually end around 9:30pm, Monday to Thursday.

With a lot of weekends without hockey, it would give the coach an opportunity to travel the country and see Africa from it’s best side.   Besides receiving fully furnished accommodation (including overheads) , the coach would also receive a car for his own use. The compensation is paid into a bank account, to which the coach has full access. The club would take care of all the work permit issues.  

 

Namibia can be found on the northern border to South Africa. Our club is situated in the northern part of Namibia, in a small town called Otjiwarongo. Altough we are the smallest club in the country, we are well respected by our opponents.   Does this sound interesting to you? Then please contact Heike at [email protected] for further details. Applications close on October 30^th 2011.
