The Academy Hockey squad trains from October to March and caters for boys and girls between 14 and 17 years of age.
Each year the Academy participates in an Academy challenge against other regional academies and this is an opportunity for state selectors to look at the available talent for later in the year when selections are made.
The Academy continues to experience a very successful program, with a large number of Academy athletes annually selected into NSW State Squads, and several athletes selected into Australian All-School teams. Winning is not what the Academy aims for, but the development of our athletes is shown in the results.
A large contingent of the Academy Hockey squad are from the Goulburn area and combined sessions for the whole squad are conducted every 3 weeks and weekly at separate venues at Moorebank and Goulburn.
The strength of this program lies in the professionalism of our coaching staff. Very well credentialed staff who have strong connections in Senior Hockey with NSW ensures that our athletes receive the very best coaching possible. Combined with our educational component, this program is very successful.
