Earlier this year Hockey Victoria announced their successful grant application securing $450,000 to develop coaching and umpiring in the regions over three years.
This is an incredible investment in our sport in the two areas identified as being in need of support.
The first coaching session was presented by Paul Schram last Monday with five in attendance. It was an excellent session and we thank him.
Paul is a well known person to us in Geelong and is highly accredited. His role is to develop the coaching in the South West area of Geelong, Warrnambool, Hamilton and Ballarat.
The dates for the umpiring and coaching sessions have been advertised.
We encourage all in our community to participate and be involved in this initiative.
We wish you all the best of luck.
Regards
Graeme Dent
