HookIn2Hockey starts April 28

Newtown City Hockey Club is on the hunt for the next Olympic star. With the
help of Hockey Australia and Hockey Victoria’s junior recruitment program, we
might just find them.
The Hookin2Hockey program provides children aged five to twelve with the
opportunity to learn the basic skills of hockey, and have a lot of fun along the way.
And who knows, we might just discover the next Jamie Dwyer of the Kookaburras (five time world player of the year) or Kobie McGurk of the Hockeyroos (2011 FIH all‐star team).
Over ten thousand youngsters participated in Hookin2Hockey nation‐wide in 2012, and the program is expected to be even bigger in 2013.
Participation in the program is free but participants have the opportunity to purchase a hockey stick, ball and shin pads, and a pack which includes a fold out backyard hockey goal, a replica Australian playing top, a participant medallion, a highlights package DVD and a video message from a Hockeyroo or Kookaburra.
Hookin2Hockey is Hockey Australia’s national recruitment program and provides
the opportunity for young participants to learn the fundamental skills of hockey
in a safe and fun environment.
