HOCKEY Association of Zimbabwe vice-president, Humphrey Chigwedere, has described the just-ended coaching clinic as a huge success.
The week-long clinic was conducted by International Hockey Federation instructor, Gjis Hardeman, at Arundel School. It targeted graded coaches from around the country and in the last days it incorporated players of different ages.
The clinic was focusing on new rules, modern techniques, drag flick techniques, penalty corner defence strategies, taking penalty corners, formations and how to conduct practice matches.
Chigwedere said the clinic was more of a refresher course for the top coaches and attracted 23 coaches from Harare, which had the bulk of coaches, Bulawayo, Manicaland, Mashonaland Central, Mashonaland East and Masvingo.
He said they were optimistic that if the coaches start to put into practice what they learnt it will go a long way in improving the sport.
The HAZ vice president said they were grateful to the international federation who facilitated the coaching clinic.
