WOMENS 1st TEAM COACH

North Somerset Hockey Club was formed in 1997 from a merger between Brean & Portishead Hockey Clubs. Both Brean and Portishead achieved various levels of success with Brean playing in the national league hockey in the late 1980’s. Both clubs started to experience a reduction in playing numbers in the late 90’s, and were brought together to form North Somerset. Based in Portishead, we draw players from throughout the area including Weston-super-Mare and Bristol. The Womens section merged with Somerset Gryphons HC at the start of season 2022-23 and now play under the name of North Somerset Gryphons.

You will find us a friendly, welcoming, and sociable Club. In the last couple of seasons, we have obtained a superb new pitch, and pitch-side facilities, in conjunction with Gordano School in Portishead. Our good governance was recognised in 2019 with the coveted Sport England/England Hockey Clubmark award.

With 3 womens sides, 3 mens sides and a large flourishing junior section that is now providing quality players to the Club, the Womens 1s are sitting comfortably in West Women’s Division 2 with a target of promotion in the short term.

Job role would include a minimum of:

• Pre-season training and friendlies attendance
• 1 training session of 1.5 hours to be delivered on Tuesday evenings
• Saturday (and occasionally Sunday) attendance at home and away fixtures with the Womens 1st team
