Come and try!
DUBBO Hockey has a free six week competition running at Pioneer Park Field in West Dubbo.
One of the organisers, Australian Masters player Tracey Hardie-jones, says all ages and skill levels are welcome.
‘We had our first gathering last Friday. It was terrific to see some familiar faces but even more exciting that a few people came for their first time and a few thought they’d give it a go after a long break,” she said.
“We’re encouraging people to come and try hockey as their new chosen sport.
“Dubbo is a regional centre and there are lots of new people in town so we want to make them welcome and introduce new or ‘long-time under-used skills,” she smiled.
Tracey says hockey attracts people of all ages, from tiny tots to more mature men and women who just can’t get enough.
“We had a three-generation family playing together last season and more and more are staying in hockey. Because of the pathways for juniors and increasingly popular Masters tournaments there are plenty of opportunities to interact with like-minded folks.”
She says Dubbo Hockey is totally inclusive and is always looking for innovative ways to allow people with a variety of challenges to be involved.
“We are also a multi-cultural city and region so would love to have players from other cultures lift us by their presence.”
