Hookin2Hockey is an introductory skills program for children aged 5 to 12. The program teaches the basic skills of hockey so it’s ideal for beginners.
Hockey Fun for the Whole Family
Hockey is a great sport for the whole family. The game provides great fun, teamwork, camaraderie and the opportunity to excel. It is also an inclusive sport, as players of all ages and skill levels can enjoy participating.
Children learning to play hockey develop confidence, coordination, and a love of being active in a fun and supportive environment. Through simple skills, games, and teamwork, they learn how to hold a stick, move the ball, and understand the basics of the game while building friendships along the way. Hockey encourages kids to try their best, celebrate small achievements, and enjoy being part of a team, helping them grow both on and off the field.
A Hookin2Hockey program can be the start of lifelong friendships and a love of the game. Many Australian Kookaburras and Hockeyroos players began their love of hockey and their hockey career in a Hookin2Hockey program.
Starting Out
Children can Come and Try FREE for their first session. Equipment is provided for use during the sessions so there’s no need to bring anything – except a hat and water bottle, especially if it’s hot. Wear shoes or sneakers and comfortable clothing for running in. A mouthguard is great if you have one. We are very careful about maintaining a safe environment, but it’s good to minimise any risks.
There are 5 sessions in the program in total – 4.30 pm at King Lloyd Reserve, 80 Windsor Rd, Newtown on Tuesday March 3, 10, 17, 24 and 31.
If children enjoy their first session and wish to return for the rest of the program, there is a charge of $60.50. This fee provides personal accident insurance until 31/12/26, and membership with Hockey Victoria for the 2026 year. If you continue on to join a team and play each week, your Hockey Victoria membership is already covered.
After the program, if participants would like to continue playing hockey, we can offer a range of ways to participate in both summer and winter seasons.
Everyone Is Welcome
We also have FREE Come and Try sessions for children aged 13+ and adults (beginners or ex-players). More information about these sessions plus registration details for the Hookin2Hockey program here…….
