JUNIOR HOCKEY 2013
We will kick off the season with an OPEN DAY with Jack Clayton, Waikato Sportsforce Hockey Development Manager.
Jack and some other coaches will come to Te Kuiti on Monday 13th May (week 2 of term 2 - the same week as our competition starts) at 3.30pm to show our young players some hockey drills, skills and games. Last year this was a great success with over 100 players enjoying the time with our coaching experts and we hope many players can join us this year. Coaches – we may ask you to help out on the day with some of the drills & exercises.
Before our Open Day, we need to get all registrations in – below is the information about our upcoming season.
This year is much the same as previous years except we will be starting an exciting new NZ Hockey programme for 5-6 year old Yr 1-2 players called ‘FUNSTICKS’ that introduces these children to hockey through basic fundamental skills & hockey games. These players do not need to be in a team which is great for those players from smaller country schools which are unable to field a team. The programme costs only $10 (same as fees for older players) and runs at the same time as the other junior games on Thursdays. Players need shoes, shin-pads, mouthguards & a water bottle - all other equipment such as sticks and balls are supplied. Parents, teachers, family members and supporters are asked to come and support the players and if possible to help set up and pack away equipment.
REGISTRATION: Our 2013 competition will begin on Wednesday 15th May, week 2 of term 2. For this to happen, ALL teams wanting to enter, need to complete the Registration form on the KCJH website under ‘Registration’ by Monday 15th April, so that the draw can be created – see www.sportsground.co.nz/kcjh
FEES: $10 for all players. Schools will be sent an invoice once teams and numbers have been entered.
