Tomorrow, (Wednesday, February 15) from 4.15pm until 5pm, Sale Hockey Club will be holding a free come-and-try for their award winning ‘Hookin2Hockey’ program.
‘Hookin2Hockey’ is suited to primary school aged children, and will be held at the Gippsland Regional Sports Complex on Cobains Rd, Sale.
The program introduces participants to the fundamentals of hockey through fun activities and games.
It will run for eight weeks, with all equipment provided.
At the end of the program, participants have the option to continue on with one of the junior teams, or participate in a social competition, Stick2Hockey.
