• Ways of upgrading to FIH Master Coach

Only the FIH Development and Coaching Committee with the proposal of two or more FIH Master Coaches can award the appointment to FIH Master Coach. In exceptional cases, the Development and Coaching Committee of the FIH can nominate a person for the appointment of FIH Master Coach even when they are not an FIH Coach or FIH Coach Grade 1. This can be the case if this individual has shown exceptional qualities as high performance coach at world top level and is also known to be able to train coaches who work in developmental situations. The Development and Coaching Committee of the FIH verifies its opinions with other FIH Master Coaches. The person concerned must have made a contribution to the FIH Coaching system. Appointment to FIH Master Coach is subject to approval by the FIH Executive Board.
