2025 Season
For 2025 we will be returning to play on Friday afternoons at the multi-purpose turf located in Bulgarra which we share with the Tennis Club. The synthetic surface provides players with a great opportunity to accelerate their skills and development. Promoting skill development with Stick-On-Ball means faster, safer and more robust skills.
Our team based training and competition will start in Week 1 of Term 2. It is important all registrations are received no later than Sunday 16 April. This will ensure the committee has time to create teams, fixtures and allocate coaches before the season starts. Late registrations cannot be confirmed placement within a team.
All children will be required to bring their own stick, mouthguard and shinpads.

It is preferred all children bring their own stick, mouthguard and shinpads, however we do have spare hockey sticks and shin pads to borrow if required.
Games
After a couple of weeks of group training we will get into fixtured games. Teams will get a short training in before their game.
Please arrive 15 minutes before this. We need help packing away tennis nets and setting up the hockey fields and vice versa upon leaving. The players can also start to have a hit around and be ready to start thier hockey right on time!
