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.
For further information please contact:
Contact: Claire Barnes ‐ 0417 015130
Venue: King Lloyd Reserve, Windsor Rd, Newtown, VIC, 3220
Start Date: 28th April, 2013

Tough games to start the senior season but promising signs for all teams.

D1 Men Falcons 1 vs Saints 1.  Fantastic match with speed and skill on show.
D1 Women 1 vs Saints 1.  Maximum effort by all. Went to the last minute before Saints scored the equaliser.
D2 Men White 4 vs Golden Plains 8.  Excellent work from the “Young Guns” and the “Legends” in the team.
D2 Men Maroon 0 vs Corio 9.  A great second half fightback.
D2 Women White 3 vs Golden Plains 5.  Outnumbered but not outplayed.  Great work.
D2 Women Maroon 0 vs Geelong 4.   Great to see new players in the team, relearning skills and rules.
