Valley Hockey Club

Boys/Mixed Teams

Under 7 - Minkey (boys and girls born 2014-2016) is played on a half field with 6 players on the field at a time. The focus of this age group is development and so there are no points and no finals. 

Many Associations adopt the use of zones in their younger age groups which restrict all players to specific parts of the field according to their position. BHA does not endorse this approach as it causes players to become disengaged in the game when the ball is not in their zone.

Games are set at the same timeslot every week (6.20pm Friday nights).   The locations are shared between Various Northside Locations including our home ground at Shaw Park.

The Northside and Southside competitions will combine for a Saturday morning Carnival at least twice during the season. They are generally held at the end of school Term 2 and school Term 3 at Shaw Park and then State Hockey Centre.
