Hookin2Hockey (formerly Minkey) Commences - Saturday 3rd March from 9.00 -10.00am

For Children from approximately 5 years and older

We are starting Hookin2hockey in March so we can have an introductory small season before school holidays.  I would like to encourage all of last year’s Hookin2hockey players to come out again and even have a go in the U9 teams. You can do both so if you start on Saturdays and would like to have a run on Sunday you are welcome.

We will also be running Hookin2Hockey programs in Term 2 and 3.

Remember to bring a friend with you. If you do we will have some prizes for you.

Where: Forestville Hockey Club, Fairfax Ave Millswood. (Enter near the cricket nets)

All equipment is provided. Just turn up with your drink bottle for some fun.
