Hi all mini hockey organisers and coaches

I hope you've managed a bit of fun family time during the school holidays.

A reminder:

Mini hockey meeting
Tuesday 26th July 7.15 p.m.

Most items for discussion are about rep issues...
1) selection & confirmation process at rep trials
2) should we change elligibility from Year 5 & 6 to Under 11 - pros and cons
3) hosting of visiting teams - do we or don't we
4) approval of girls development coach, and managers

These will follow general business, so for those of you not interested in this aspect of mini hockey, it should prove to be a short meeting, mainly to pay the bills & tie up lose ends.

I would like to revisit the idea of putting in a children's playground, as part of the turf upgrade project. This was supported by Mini Hockey last year, and if the support is still there, it will be timely to think about grant applications, sponsorship, etc, in the hope of getting this done over the summer months.

Also, have YOU sent in your school's player registrations. I know there are still some outstanding, and the details of player numbers and ages will be relevant in support of the playground project. I'm convinced from the info submitted to date that we average more than 8 players per 6 a side team, and 10 per 8 a side team which is what we do our guesstimates on.

The chance to win!!!!!
For all your regular 8 a side team umpires, there will be the chance to win
$30 of Grant Bradburn Sport vouchers.
Entry forms will be available on the website www.waikatohockey.org.nz <http://www.waikatohockey.org.nz> soon or paper copies at the Gallagher Hockey Centre & also emailed to those who have attended training sessions.

Looking forward to seeing you, or hearing from you soon,


Sharyn Kerr
