Junior Hockey in Karratha
Our junior hockey program in Karratha is a great introduction to hockey where we focus on fun in a safe environment. Junior sport is an introduction to team work, good sportsmanship and the wider community for many of our children. We encompass the values of TrueSport+:
- Bring Your Best
- Play Fair
- Show Respect
- Have Fun
- Be Healthy
- Include All
- Give Back
- Be Safe
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.
