Hockey: be able to receive, block and drag and flick into goals.

 

The SA hockey competition has been running since 1901. Games were first played in the South Parklands and players had to pick up all the cowpats from the playing field before they could play. Now we have 23 metro clubs and 11 country associations around the state. Hockey is a fun sport that teaches skills for life, including teamwork, sportsmanship and leadership.
