Alexandra Mann from the Melbourne Sports Institute recently sent in this email with a request for Hockey Coaches. If anyone could be of assistance please use the details below to contact her:

I am contacting you from the Melbourne Sports Institute, we are currently seeking one or two hockey coaches for the coming term set to commence in a couple of weeks time. As our current coaches are unavailable for these positions, we are looking for new coaches to fill these roles. These positions are perfect for a coach looking to gain some more experience and well as a bit of cash on the side. We’ve found in the past that this can work well for uni students who have an afternoon or two free each week and want a bit of casual work.

As we do have a number of positions quite close to your area, I was wondering if perhaps you knew of anyone in your club whom you could circulate this to that might be interested?

Tuesday – 1pm – 5pm
AND/OR
Thursday – 1pm – 5pm.
