"We want to continue to promote this as an option for parents who don’t want to travel all over the Hastings area for their kids to play sport - our teams play in one location (at the Port Macquarie Hastings Hockey Associations Hockey Facility) at a set time," said club president, Heath Thompson.
“We are small local hockey club that is big on the belief in promoting the fun and development of skill of all of our players over winning."
Heath says their family friendly sporting philosophy encourages socialisation and the building of friendships through teams which cater to all ages groups.
"Hockey is a great skill-based and teamwork-based sport. We encourage the kids to thrive with their own individual skill but within a supportive team structure and we are proud that now with the continuance of the NSW sporting Active Kids Rebate the club is can focus on promoting this program at the 4-11 year old age groups at a reduced cost," he said.
