Play Hockey With A Family Friendly Club
Newtown City Hockey Club is the largest hockey club in Victoria outside the Melbourne Metropolitan area. With over 350 members and 20 teams, the Club offers the opportunity for people to play hockey at whatever level they choose.
New Members Are Welcome
The Club welcomes players of any age, and any level of skill or experience. New members are welcome at any time of the year, as there are teams playing in both winter and summer seasons.
Winter season games are April to September, and the summer season is October to February. The winter season is the main competition, with the most participants. The summer season provides a more social environment, and this often makes the summer season a good place to try the game out.
Getting Started
If you are new to hockey, or haven’t played for a while, you could start with one of these options:
- Hookin2Hockey – a Come and Try program for boys and girls aged 5 to 12.
- Kookas Midweek hockey – a less structured program for boys and girls aged 5 to 12.
- Saturday Social hockey – a fun opportunity for boys, girls, men and women to play hockey, There is no commitment to be there every week. It’s a great way for families to play together. This program is run only during the winter season.
- Summer hockey programs – includes Mixed Masters (over 35) and Friday Family competitions – both good places for less experienced adults to play hockey.
- Join a team training session – join one of the regular training sessions for the various teams.
New members are welcome to try one of these first, before deciding whether to join the Club.
