Under 9s – 2012

Sadly many of the LTUHC Junior ‘originals’ are now too old to play Under 9s this year and have moved on to other clubs.  Their younger tougher siblings however have taken their place !!  LTUHC Under 9s play in the official Hockey Victoria ‘Mixed’ Under 9 Northern Zone division and play a total of 18 games against teams from Greensborough, Essendon, MHSOB, Brunswick and Yarra Valley.  To be eligible to participate, children (boy or girl) need to have been born in 2003 or higher (turning 9 in 2012).

Cost is $50 which includes LTUHC playing shirt and socks.  You will need to provide your child with their own stick, shorts and mouth-guard.

All Home games and training sessions are at KP Hardiman Reserve, Plenty Road, Reservoir.

1st training session is Saturday 24th March – 9am to 10am.

Round 1 is Saturday the 14th of April.  The season fixture should be finalised in early May.

 

 

Under 9 Girls Tournament(s)

LTUHC ran Under 9 Girls Mini Tournaments in November 2010 and November 2011.  Despite being run in the off season, both events were successful and provided Under 9 girls with a chance to participate in a female only hockey event (normal Under 9s and Under 11s hockey are ‘mixed’ competitions).  Hockey Victoria has invited Clubs to host the 2012 U9 & U11 “GirlZ Just Wanna have Fun!” series which consists of 4 separate Sunday morning events during the normal winter season.

LTUHC has submitted an expression of interest to Hockey Victoria to run one or more of these events.  For more information about the series Click Here
