The Hunter Academy of Sport (HAS) hockey program plays a vital role in the Hockey NSW pathway by identifying, monitoring and developing the skills of young hockey players.
The HAS hockey program forms an underpinning program for the Hockey NSW Futures program that can see athletes progress through the athlete pathway and be given the support they need to progress to the next level. Members of the squad will be exposed to expert coaching services, and sport specific education in areas such as, physiotherapy and nutrition.
The following benefits will apply to those selected in the hockey program:
Athletes must be 15-18 years of age in 2024 (Born 2006, 2007, 2008 & 2009)
A program and uniform levy will be applicable to selected athletes
The Hockey Program will run from November – April concluding with the Your Local Club Academy Games Tour to Wagga Wagga (Selected athletes only).
Sessions will run approximately once a month and predominantly on Sundays.
