2010 Coaching and Management Opportunities
We have attached a list of all our teams for the 2010 Winter Season. In order to easily identify the vacant official positions, and to give members a chance to step in and help out, we have decided to advertise to the club. As you know, this club cannot run without the support of its volunteers. Coaching and managing teams is absolutely imperative to the continued success of our club both on and off field.
So far we have had a number of people enquire about roles for next season. We always require help and assistance in filling some positions, so here is your chance! There are discounted fees available in select positions, and all grades, particularly the junior teams, are open to job sharing arrangements. We appreciate the personal sacrifice people make in committing to coaching and team management, and so we will endeavor to assist wherever possible with help from our senior teams and players providing specialist coaching, and providing "How to..." manuals for all our team managers.
If you are interested in coaching or being a team manager of one of our teams for season 2010 please contact our dedicated hockey operations people below... or drop us an email at enquiries@altonahc.org.au
