Geelong Hockey Association is seeking nominations from people interested in representing Geelong at the Hockey Victoria Junior Country Championships, which will be played on May 14 & 15. This is an opportunity to promote the growth and development of regional players, coaches and umpires.
We are seeking players, coaches, team managers and umpires. Umpire coaches will be available to provide guidance and mentoring. Umpires will be paid $15/ match.
Professional first aid services will be provided for the Championships.
Competitions are available for boys and girls in:
- Under 13 – born on or after January 1, 2009
- Under 15 – born on or after January 1, 2007
- Under 18 – born on or after January 1, 2004
All players must be registered with Hockey Victoria for the 2022 year. Team managers will be required to enter teams in Revolutionise Sport so must also be registered with Hockey Victoria. This may be through a ‘non-playing official’ membership which has no cost.
Venues: Greensborough Hockey Centre (Under 15s), State Hockey Centre & Footsray Hockey Centre (Under 13s and Under 18s)
Note that the Under 13s and Under 18s will play across both the State Hockey Centre and Footscray Hockey Centre during the course of the weekend.
Cost to participate in the competition will be $80/ player. This fee will be waived for members who volunteer for coach or team manager roles.
All nominations should be submitted by April 9.
These teams will only be entered in the competition if there are sufficient players AND officials nominating.
