The Wanderers Australia international hockey tour program has been in existence for over 30 years. Most players attending the tours are NPL level players, or those who are playing regional or state school level. For those who are not fully aware of our program head to waus.com.au.
The aim of our program is to have passionate individual players from across Australia travel overseas through hockey, improve with excellent coaching and playing against the local players, but also equally importantly build some resilience and confidence in players, teach them some life and travel skills and come back a better player and person from the experience.
We have some coaching/team staff vacancies for coaches, managers and sports trainers that we would like to fill for the following tours coming up:
- Junior hockey tour - Japan - December 1st - 16th 2026
- Opens hockey tour - Argentina / NZ - 26 March - April 14th 2027
- U13/14 junior hockey tour - Fiji - Dec 1st to Dec 10, 2027
- Junior hockey tour - England, Holland, Belgium, France - Dec 30 to Jan 16, 2028
Coaches are expected to be level 2 acredited or equivalent or working towards this level, team staff are expected to have experience at regional or state representative schools/association level, demonstrate experience in looking after young people in terms of supervision, not just coaching, and assist in supervising the players throughout the tour as well as coaching them. They must also have a current working with children check/ blue suitability card and be senior first aid qualified before departure.
Wanderers Australia covers tour costs for staff including uniform, flights, accommodation, transfers, breakfast, some dinners, entry fees and travel insurance as well as internal transfers.
Full backup support and training is provided by Wanderers Australia for all staff before and on tour, and each tour will have an experienced leader on board.
Coaches and team staff are required to supervise the players throughout the tour on and off the field.
