Frequently Asked Questions

I am new to hockey. Does it matter that I have never played before?

No, not at all! Despite us being a small club, we match everyone’s level of ability & experience into smaller groups. It is never too late to start, we have beginners of all ages.

Do you have a trial membership?

We welcome participants to trial hockey for one week free of charge. After that week, due to insurance, fees apply.

What equipment do I need?

All players require a hockey stick, shin pads and mouth guard. These are essential to ensure players safety. A uniform is required for game days, but not for training (just wear comfortable sportswear – t-shirt, shorts/skirt and long socks). Please also remember a drink bottle and sunscreen for training and games.

Where can I buy the equipment?

The club has no equipment available for sale. We do hold a few sticks in case you come down for a trial session. There are several specialist hockey shops in Perth who have a wide range of equipment. Alternatively check out the internet and get it delivered to your door. Mouthguards can be organised through sports shops, websites or the local chemists.

The season starts on the 2nd May for Seniors and 9th May for Minkey and Junior players. It will continue through to the 19th Spetember concluding with an end of season celebration.
