IIHF Coaching Course

Darryl Easson, Sport Development Manager of the IIHF spent a week in Cape Town with the players and head coaches of SAIHA namely Ronnie Wood (WP), Kieren Edge (Natal) and Eddie Compton(JHB).Darryl was kind enugh to step onto the ice and run a practise for the u18 and senior team on the Tuesday night which was a great experience.
Darryl's main objective while here was to run a coaches coaching course and Level 1 coaching course for those who were interested. The coaches coaching course took place during the week with the level one course taking place over the majority of the weekend. The SAIHA head coaches assisted Darryl in the teaching and presentation of the course material.
Friday and Saturday was in the classroom with a section on Sunday morning being on the ice for hands-on experience with Darryl, Ronnie and Eddie. Our main focus "on ice" was correct utlization of the ice, ensuring all kids are activaly busy for the entire practise and that they were being run through the correct basic techniques.
This course was an outstanding success and a great thank you do Mr Darryl Easson for his time, effort and stories.
