Community engagement initiatives

Hockey Geelong is committed to fostering inclusivity and connection through a range of community programs. Our initiatives aim to make hockey accessible to all, supporting local groups and encouraging participation across all ages and abilities.

Volunteering – Festival of Sport

Festival of Sport was held on the 7th of March 2025, at Kardinia Park

What an afternoon of excitement and fun! The highlight was definitely recruiting the Touch Rugby team’s daughter, adding a fresh twist to the competition. The goalie gear was a massive hit with the kids, who couldn’t get enough of feeling like pros. The Bucket Challenge brought a whole new level of difficulty, pushing everyone to their limits. And Farmyard Dribbling. It was the perfect way to challenge your mates and have a good laugh.

Everyone left a winner with their mini medal and Geelong Hockey merch bag!
