The University of Queensland Hockey Club

At UQFC we are fortunate to have some of the leading coaches in Queensland developing our top tier teams.  We also have a dedicated group of volunteer coaches across all age groups, many of whom are licensed or taking qualifications through Club-funded support.

If you are interested in joining our team of coaches please contact the Director of Football or the Junior Director of Coaching.

FFA Coaching Curriculum

The FFA National Football Curriculum examines how Australians play football, exploring the philosophy behind how we should play and illustrating practical steps that bring the thinking to life in training and matches.

Having this football curriculum available for all coaches is a key part of the FFA's strategic plan to make football the biggest and most popular game in Australia.
