20 Teams to Begin in 2010
The junior section has entered the new season with a record 20 player squads (including an expanded Minkey program), and we are now represented in all ‘A’ divisions for girls teams, and up to U15 ‘A’ in the ‘mixed’ grades. Our inaugural U15 ‘A’ team will hopefully win us U17 ‘A’ entry in two years time by finishing above 9th position in U15 ‘A’ in 2010.
Wildcats
Wildcats trials began on the weekend and FHC has provided 50% of the nominations for the Western Region. Good luck in coming weeks kids!
Junior Umpires
FHC junior umpires are now receiving pocket money for their umpiring endeavors. Above U9 level, our umps receive between $10 – $15 depending on the grade umpired. The cost of this program is covered by Junior Grant Sponsorships received.
Torquay Hockey Club
FHC are a major benefactor of the new Torquay Hockey Club which has been established by FHC Veteran and former coach Andrew Crowley. FHC donated goal-keeping equipment and sticks to help Torquay HC get moving!
Pre-Loved Sale
Thank you to Lisa for arranging our sale of pre-loved hockey goods. There were some amazing bargains available in the shoe department with many pairs of near new runners. For the sake of spending $10 – $20 why not grab your child’s next pair of quality sand-shoes now from our pre-loved goods.
Goal Keeper Training
U17 goalkeeping ace Alexandra Leeder is helping the club train-up three new U11 GK prospects. Thanks Alexandra!
Results
Our junior teams have started the new season in pretty good style. Rd 1 results were 13 wins, 1 draw, 5 losses (77 goals for, 26 against), and Rd 2 = 12 wins, 2 draws, 4 losses (69 goals for, 22 against). More importantly we’re seeing terrific player growth and development across all age groups. Keep up the good work kids/coaches/administrators/parents!
