Call for Coaches - Provincial Outdoor 2011
For a complete schedule and program update please visit the Calendar page. This year we will be requiring a few more details for applicants to coach each program. For more details on the requirements please visit the Coach Opportunities page on our website.

CS4LLong Term Athlete Development - What is it?
The Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) model is a concept developed in many countries. LTAD is used to develop a complete sport system that is multi-sport based (not just for field hockey). The LTHD (Long Term Hockey Development Model) was developed by Field Hockey Canada in 2008/2009. FHA has LTHD posters available for all parents, coaches and athletes with details for all the various stages of the LTHD which include tactical, technical, mental, physical & health requirements for each stage. Stages are developed based on chronological age and training age. For more details about the LTAD please visit the Canadian Sport 4 Life website. FHA and the rest of the provincial field hockey programs in Canada are adopting this model for the development of our athletes.

New for the 2011 Outdoor Provincial Program
FHA will be changing the format of the outdoor program for 2011. We will be introducing camp style weekends instead of team training each weekend of the summer. This provides flexibility for athletes to participate in other sports and events and for our coaches to have more flexibility. For those athletes who do wish to participate week in and week out we are offering a separate program, these are the technical training sessions. Athletes are required to attend all camp weekends (travel is required). Athletes however are not required to travel for technical training session weekends. The purpose of this type of training is to model after the national teams in Canada and to have full engagement from athletes for the entire weekend (technical, tactical, video, fitness, prevention & recovery, etc), instead of stretched out over the entire summer.

For more details about the Technical Training Sessions please click here.

Provincial Team Trials
Registration forms are due by April 29th, 2011. Trial fees are due prior to your first trial session. This can be paid online, cash or cheque. Please send all payments to the FHA office prior to the April 29th, 2011 deadline. This year FHA will be offering provincial teams for the following age groups and genders:

  • Men's & Women's Under 18
  • Women's Under 16 (TBD for a Men's Under 16 Team for 2011)
  • Boys & Girls Under 14 (both Edmonton & Calgary based)
  • Senior Men & Women

For the complete schedule and trial information please visit the FHA Provincial Team Calendar.
