Membership and Training Fees
Coaches
Carmarthen Athletic Hockey Club have a quality coaching team. We have a development plan that ensures that our coaches have continued professional development and are player focused. We welcome anyone into the team who aspires to become a Coach. The Coaches work together and with Team Captains to provide each team (both junior and senior) a structured training session whilst identifying each player’s abilities and needs. We take pride in our approach and coach players on their ability rather than their age.

Our Club takes Child Protection very seriously. We have a dedicated Child Welfare Officer who is able to provide confidential advice. If you are concerned about being bullied or witnessed another player being treated unfairly, please inform a member of the Executive Committee, through our “Contact Us’ page or indeed the Child Welfare Officer.
