We’re excited to announce the launch of our 2024 Return/New To Hockey Program

FAQS
OK, I’M INTERESTED, TELL ME MORE
This is the friendliest, least confronting, most social way for adults to experience hockey whether you played a long time ago or have never picked up a stick
HOW BIG A COMMITMENT IS THIS?
We know life is busy. This program will run for 6 sessions, once a week for 90 minutes and only costs $50 per person. Sign Up.
WHEN IS IT?
It will run every Monday night from 11th November to 16th December 2024. We’ll start at 8pm (just enough time to have some dinner and get the kids sorted) and finish at 9:30pm, maybe with a drink together in the clubhouse afterwards
WHERE ON EARTH IS YARRA HOCKEY CLUB?
Nestled between Ivanhoe and Northcote, ‘The Dam’ is an easy drive from anywhere in the inner north. 67 Liberty Parade, Bellfield VIC 3081.
WHAT IF I CAN’T MAKE A SESSION?
No worries. This isn’t school. We know that things come up and sometimes you might need to miss a session.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
Safety first. We strongly encourage mouthguards (available at club) and shin guards. If you have a hockey stick, bring it along! If not, we’ll have some spare sticks to borrow for the duration of the program. Whilst we won’t be playing with any intensity, we do encourage taking out insurance with Hockey Victoria just in case. It’s only $32.81 for twelve months cover, we’ll share details via WhatsApp.
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR FORMER HOCKEYROOS OR KOOKABURRAS?
No. This program is for those who have never picked up a stick or not played in a while, but if you’re a Hockeyroo/Kookaburra we’ll gladly connect you to our seniors!
WHAT IF I’M NO GOOD?
No judgement here! Mis-hits and funny moments are guaranteed. We’re here to have fun, do some exercise, learn some skills and improve along the way.
WHAT’S NEXT AFTER THIS PROGRAM?
Hopefully everyone has a great time and wants to continue their hockey journey into 2025. Yarra Hockey Club has a range of options with teams in varying levels of competition, we’ll figure that out together.
