Female Coach Mentorship
Hockey Saskatchewan is offering female coach mentorship through our trained Women Master Coach Developer (WMCD) leaders.
Purpose of the WMCD:
The purpose of the Women Master Coach Developer (WMCD) Program is to enhance female leadership capacity within Hockey Saskatchewan to support the growth and retention of girls and women in the game of hockey. The WMCD have been trained in clinic facilitation, evaluation & mentorship.
As facilitators they can offer the female-only We Are Coaches program.
As evaluators, they can mentor and conduct practice/game evaluations to offer feedback to women coaches.
The impact of this program may dramatically increase the number of active women coaches at youth levels of hockey across Canada, which will positively influence the recruitment and retention of girls in the sport of hockey.
