Vote for H3 - The Coca Cola Thank you Fund

September 09, 2013

With the support of the Coca-Cola Thank-You Fund, Irish Hockey is hoping to run H3 (Healthy Heart Hockey) which is a new physical well-being programme delivered to communities all over Ireland. H3 will celebrate the benefits of an active lifestyle, provide nutritional education and offer an opportunity to try hockey and attend both local and national fun game-based festivals. The main target group will be teenagers and young adults.

Aims:
  • Increase the number of people taking part in regular physical exercise in a fun environment.
  • Provide education on how to live a more balanced lifestyle through learning and awareness.
  • Create a network of leaders in communities who can educate and influence teenagers and young adults' long term.
H3 involves an IHA ‘Hockey Champion' visiting a local community to run an active lifestyle session which will combine general physical activity, an introduction to Hockey 5's (small sided modified hockey format) and a workshop on nutritional well-being. The ‘Hockey Champion will be specially trained and recruited by Irish Hockey.  The programme then continues with local Sports Leaders (teacher or local coach), who with our support, will deliver a 5 week physical well-being programme where participants will get to experience the fun of physical exercise.

The Sports Leader will be provided with an educational pack and equipment which will provide them with everything they need to deliver H3. All participants will then be invited to take part in a regional and a national hockey festival which will be run as a participation based event with no winner or no medals - taking part is the reward! The festival will cater for a range of age groups and abilities.
