Karori Hockey Club 2008 Season
If you are looking to join a forward thinking hockey club for the 2008 season, look no further than Karori Hockey Club! 2008 looks to be an interesting season with the top Women's side retaining their place in the Premier One Grade. While playing the P1 grade presents a challenge, the side has enough dynamic and skillful players to play competitive hockey from the outset. The top men's side will be looking to build on 2007's Premier Two winning season and to join the women in the Premier One grade. The onus on the team under its new coaching organisation will be having greater consistency of performance from a team that has the players to compete at higher levels.
The club will be looking to maintain and improve its excellent work in developing junior players so that they continue to be the foundation of the top teams in the future. A key aspect of this development will lie in the continuing ability of the club to attract and retain the quality coaches and support that are the lynchpin of any developing club.
Off the pitch, the club will have the first social and AGM of 2008 at the Avatar Vineyard on the 16th February at 1pm. During the season, the social committee runs regular socials for both the men and women and, hopefully, we will have a lot to celebrate on these occasions.
On the pitch, Karori will have its Club Day at the National Hockey Stadium, Mt Albert, Wellington, on Sunday 2nd March from 11:00am to 12:00 noon. The club welcomes all new players, coaches, umpires and administrators.
For further information on joining the club please contact club captain, Scott Hemsley on (021) 417 593, a/h (04) 236 5653 or by email sragh@xtra.co.nz.
