Hookin2Hockey gives young boys and girls the opportunity to learn the basic skills of hockey, develop fundamental motor skills and make friends all while beginning their lifelong love of hockey! The targeted age group is children aged from 5-9. All clubs offer a mid week session with an optional Saturday modified rules game against the participants from other clubs. Mid week sessions are held at the home of the local clubs with the Saturday sessions rotating between the clubs. The Saturday sessions run during terms 2 and 3, but participants can join the program at any time.

Club volunteers work hard, with the assistance of the Hockey SA Game Development Officer, visiting local schools, running clinics etc.

HockeySA Launch Fire Academy

INTRODUCING THE FIRE ACADEMY:
 

The Fire Academy is Hockey South Australia’s leading Development & High-Performance Program. The Academy is run by Hockey South Australia’s High-Performance Department and involves intensive skill-based training, modified games, and full-field match play.

Approximately 400 athletes will gain selection into the Academy over the four age groups.
There have been some exciting changes made to the way the Athlete Development will be structured. The 2020 Fire Academy will have four seperate age groups; U13, U15, U18 & U24. Please note, there will be changes in 2021 to the age groups and timelines as 2020 has been affected by COVID-19.

The Fire Academy will provide emerging talent from Regional & Metropolitan areas to develop their tactical and technical skills.

These Academies will be structured to lead into age-specific National Tournaments with various checkpoints along the way i.e. State Trials, State Selection, and State Training.

In 2020, the Fire Academy will be touring to Bendigo, Victoria to play against Hockey Victoria's Academy. These tours will be exclusive to U15 & U18 Academy athletes, with team selections to be made throughout the Academy. (due to COVID-19 details yet to be determined)

REGIONAL ACADEMIES:

The Fire Academy in Regional Associations will vary in size, shape, and form. They will undoubtedly offer an excellent opportunity for athletes to develop their hockey skills.

For many years Hockey South Australia has had an excellent representation of country-based athletes in junior State Teams and an even better representation in Australian squads. We are striving to continue this long-standing tradition of developing quality regional athletes in South Australia.
