Continuing on from the success of the last few years' expansion, the programme includes U23s, Youth, Intermediate and Junior players and is a combination of skills and games sessions. The games sessions also double as grading games/trials and there will be Youth and Junior Coaches and Selectors watching to help grade players for the winter season. All sessions will all be held at Avondale College, Gate 3, Rosebank Road, Avondale.

Game Sessions (Trials/Grading)

These are open to any Primary, Intermediate and High school students looking to play winter hockey at Western Districts this season. This includes both new and experienced players so feel free to bring along a friend or two. The game sessions serve as a chance for the coaches to grade the players into the correct level for their age and skill level.

What you'll need

• A drink bottle
• We can provide hockey sticks for those who don’t already have one, but we do recommend you bring a mouthguard and shin pads if you have them as well
• We go ahead rain or shine so make sure you bring sunscreen and a rain jacket

What happens afterwards?

Players who've enjoyed their Have-a-Go day can then join the Development Academy at their leisure. It will run directly afterwards, and allows children to enjoy, improve, and progress their hockey. Just ask any of the coaches on the day, or email us to join the the Development Academy sessions!
