- Director of Hockey at Durbanville High School
- Durbanville Hockey Club Ladies 1st team coach
My Vision & Mission
Hockey is my life. It has been since I first picked up a hockey stick at the age of 13, and I have dedicated my life to the sport. I want to share the passion and love I have for the game with my players, hoping it will bring them the same joy it has brought me over the years.
My philosophy is simple; as long as kids are playing hockey, it doesn’t matter where or at which level they play.
I will dedicate my time to anyone who wants to work with me, young or old, WP Players or C-team players. Our focus will not only be to produce good players, but to offer a holistic approach that creates well rounded, down to earth players. No one should ever take credit for a child’s achievements or hard work except themselves, and they will be celebrated for each milestone reached.
My mission is to grow the game of hockey in Durbanville and beyond, and to make sure kids have a safe space to enjoy the game while sharing my knowledge with other coaches, helping them to grow and learn as well.
At the
Hockey Factory
we take all the pieces that make up a hockey player & put them together to build great players.
INNER WORKINGS AT THE HOCKEY FACTORY
Building Hockey Together
The hockey Factory is hosting weekly coaching clinics that follow a specific growth plan for our junior hockey players.
Schools nowadays put all the focus on winning and being the best. Here at the Hockey Factory, we focus on creating a safe and fun space for players to learn and grow. We teach them basic skills and give them opportunities to use these skills in match situations.
As we become more competitive, we lose sight of what sport should mean to children. As children we want to play the game because it’s fun, because we can play with our friends and make new ones. Children need to feel free to make mistakes and learn without the fear of ridicule, and that is exactly what we strive to provide.
MATCHES are played on Saturdays.
(Subject to time of year and availability.)
HOLIDAY TOURNAMENTS are hosted during the April, June, September and January school holidays.
