Indoor Training Camps
Ozsports are running indoor hockey training sessions leading up
to the season start for those juniors wanting to sharpen their
indoor skills and get the edge over the competition.
This Saturday, 24 July, Ryde is hosting the third North Area U9
carnival. The carnival is scheduled to run 9.00am – 11.00am.
The carnival is a busy affair as there are four games in
progress at any one time (across the field). We are anticipating
80 U9 players and their families.
We will need assistance in setting up the field – boards are
used to separate each of four playing fields – assistance in the
canteen, assistance in running the teams and assistance in
umpiring the games. Umpires do not need to be badged – if you
simply have a love of the game and you can apply broadly the
attached rules – you will
be great.
Even if you can just spare an hour – or be there simply at
8.30am, or 11.00am to help construct/deconstruct the fields –
that would be fantastic.
Hooked in2 Hockey at Ryde Hunters
Hill Hockey Club
With one eye on the forthcoming hockey season the Ryde Hunters
Hill Hockey Club has successfully concluded its second annual
Hook in2 Hockey Clinic.
The clinics are designed as an introduction to hockey, and for
aspiring hockey players to ‘give hockey a go’. Hook in2 Hockey
is a Hockey Australia initiative which is strongly supported by
Hockey NSW. All participants receive four sessions of coaching,
a hockey stick, shin guards and a ball!
The Club welcomed twenty participants, aged between 4 and 13, to
the clinic which was conducted over four days. Coaching
Coordinators John Cullen and Steve Dunn ensured that the clinic
was constantly on the move with a series of drills and
exercises. Each day’s clinic was concluded with an eagerly
contested game, with the coaching assistants, all senior players
at Ryde, acting as supporters, mentors and umpires!
The participants welcomed the support they received from current
players and coaches including Lily Brazel, Ben Campey, Chris
Campey, Matt Cullen, Ben Craig, Tom Craig, Josie de Wall, Tom de
Waal, Maddie English, Michael English, Gill McCartney, David
Moore and Declan Moore.
Despite the warm weather there were smiles all round with
everyone keen to return on the following day. Meg Smith, RHHHC
Junior President, labelled the clinic a great success: “First
and foremost, everyone has fun, and secondly the clinic
introduces kids, who have not played hockey, to the sport. They
may not choose to pursue hockey instantly but they may keep it
in mind in the future” she said.
