2021 Grading Day

Hockey is back! Come down to Grading Day on Saturday 27th and 28th February 2021 at Hockey ACT. There is absolutely no cost for these sessions, our coaches use the time to grade you into training squads for the lead up to season start. Grading session times are:

Women’s – Sunday 28th February

  • New players to the club – 9am to 10am.
    • After this session we will ask you to join either the lower or higher grade session
  • Lower grades (SL2 – SL4 // 4th – 6th grade) – 10am to 11am
  • Higher grades (CL1 – SL1 // 1st – 3rd grade) – 11am to 12pm

Please arrive 30 MINUTES before your session to register and warm up.

After your grading session we welcome you to stick around! We will have a BBQ or pizzas to share…

If you can’t attend grading day, keep an eye out for a form coming soon so we can add you to a grading squad for following sessions.

Men’s – Saturday 27th February

  • All grades – 12:30 to 16:00 Lyneham Hockey Centre, Mouat St Lyneham on the Carter field.

Starts at 12:30 for registration and 13:00 for warm-ups, drills and grading games, until around 16:00. There will be plenty of opportunity to get some game time, iron out the kinks from a summer of relaxation, measure your skills against other players, meet new (or old) people and take part in some socialising after the session with pizzas provided.
