Centre of Development is our highly successful program which consists of three elements:

• Training Sessions

  • 20 hours (a 2-hour session each week for 10 weeks) of coaching delivered at your local venue. This year there will be a new curriculum designed by Brent Livermore, OAM OLY

• Regional and GK Sessions

  • 4 Regional GK sessions for the GK’s. Each GK can attend as many of these sessions as they would like.

  • Regional Sessions are where the players can join with other centres across their region for a larger 4-hour training session.

• Regional Challenge

  • The Regional Challenge is the culmination of the Centre of Development Program All players are invited to attend a tournament style weekend. It is an opportunity for the participants to meet and compete with others from around the state. It is a way for all of the participants to practice and demonstrate all of the skills they have been working on through out the training sessions. The Regional challenge is a festival of hockey where the focus is on fun and development. No scores are kept, and at the end of the weekend a champion region is crowned based on sportsmanship and the demonstration of the pride vales.
