Hook in 2 Hockey

Hookin2Hockey is designed for boys and girls aged 10 and under, but the skills can be modified to suit players of any age and we often have older participants, particularly in Term 1 each year. 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. This program structure has been developed to help participants step through their hockey journey.

We believe that Hookin2Hockey will introduce new players to a game that provides fun, friendship, and a lifelong love of an iconic Olympic sport, in a club/association based environment. The eight-week program will teach participants the basic skills giving them the opportunity to not only fall in love with our game, but providing them with a dream that one day they can represent Australia, whose teams are among the world’s best, at the highest level, the Olympic Games.

Beginner Hockey Programs – Full Year Timetable

Our full year timetable for Waverley’s beginner hockey programs includes the following approach:

  • A 5 week Hookin2Hockey program on Saturday mornings in Term 1
  • Most children will transition into the under 8s and under 10s Term 2 and Term 3 competitions
  • We will run separate Hookin2Hockey sessions in Term 2 & 3 for brand new players and children too young for the under 8s competition.

Equipment

Participants will have the option to purchase a Participant Pack from Hockey Australia through the registration process.

Our fantastic sponsor, Just Hockey, at 281 Burke Road, Glen Iris, can also provide the starter equipment – https://justhockey.com.au/.

Players must obtain a mouthguard – wearing a mouthguard is vital for your safety when playing hockey. There are a number of options when it comes to selecting a mouth guard, if you require more information it is recommended that you speak to a dentist.
