To help foster this welcoming environment for the last few years Frankston Hockey Club has put on a FREE SUMMER PROGRAM for junior members. In the coming days we will have more information regarding this program for the 2010/2011 program.
Parents of players are actively encouraged to be part of the club, and provide vital input, support and encouragement.]]>
In addition to this it would be great to see a big crowd down at the ground to support our 2nds, whom if win or draw will cement a place in the finals.
The seconds are playing 16.30, with team selection to be announced Thursday at training. Hope to see you all down at the ground to help support your club.]]>

Here is the feedback from the U13’s
Tyler:
“I loved it. It was great how they invited Luke Doerner to teach us how to "drag-flick". It was really great how us 5 Stingrays got to go in a bus and to have the same group to learn our skills together. We loved playing "truth or dare" in our lunch break each day and we met some other cool friends from Hawthorn Hockey Club.”
Jess:
“All together I think each and every one of us learned new skills and had a fun time. During the first two days we were taught multiple skills by some Australian men and women hockey players. Our skills for moving the ball around improved throughout the three days. At the end of the camp we tested our skills in scratch matches; we enjoyed playing these matches as it showed our improvement.”
Tamara:
“I feel we benefited from the Hockey Camp because we learned some neat new skills such as jinking and drag flicking and we are looking forward to trying them out in matches. We had a great time over the three days and enjoyed meeting with Australian Hockey Players such as the Kookaburra defender, Luke Doerner who played in the World Cup team this year.”
Will:
“On the last day we played heaps of mini games and the best game was when we played the U15's .”
Cai:
“On Wednesday the 30th of June to the 2nd of July some under 13 players went to Essendon Hockey to participate in a hockey camp with people from other clubs and other districts. We learnt skills like short stick hitting, flicking and drag flicking .The players got closer in the three days that the hockey camp was on for.”
The only additional comments that I can add are:
The Oreo’s game in the bus was hilarious and I think I gained a couple of extra son in laws. On a more serious note it was a great event that saw the kids physically active throughout the three days, bonding and laughing. The camp itself taught tactical skills as well as the drills, and also spent time addressing the body care elements such as the importance of warmup/downs and first aid treatments for muscle pulls and tears etc.
As Mike summed up: “I felt the camp was an excellent development step for the kids and they got immeasurable benefit, both tangible and intangible from the experience, and I would recommend the experience to anyone.”]]>
