A reminder that our free Come & Try sessions start this Tuesday 12th March for primary school kids!

Register your interest at https://maitlandhockey.org.au/come-and-try/ and come along to the Maitland Hockey Centre to check it out from 5:00pm.

Are you or your family or friends interested in playing in the MHI Women’s comp?

It’s friendly and fun. Team sport is a great way to make new friends or get reacquainted with old friends and to keep fit.

All levels of ability and experience welcome. Age range from 14 years to ‘Masters’!

Our games are always played on Saturday afternoons at the same venue- Maitland Hockey Centre.

Please email secretary@maitlandhockey.org.au with your details. We can link you with a team and answer any questions.

With Christmas approaching don’t forget to download the iSponsor app to do your shopping or book your holiday travel! Every purchase you make online or in store will provide fundraising dollars for Maitland Hockey when you select us as your group.

Go to www.isponsorapp.com/download to get the app or shop via their website.

All funds raised via iSponsor will go directly to reducing costs for our members, both Seniors and Juniors, and every little bit will add up to make a difference.

Maitland Hockey Inc is very proud of the achievements of all of our Masters women selected to represent NSW and ACT in Perth for the Hockey Australia Masters Championships last month, where the NSW Over 70s and Over 65s both won their finals against Victoria.

The success continues this month with Hockey Australia and Hockey Australia Masters Committee announcing that three of our players have been selected in the 70+ team to represent Australia at the 2024 Masters World Cup in Auckland, New Zealand.

Congratulations to Joan Hart, Kate Ryan and Patricia McMillan on your selection in the Australian team. You are an inspiration to our Maitland players!

Please contact secretary@maitlandhockey.org.au for further information on the positions available and/or details on how to attend online.

We are excited to share that Maitland Hockey is now live on iSponsor – a free app that turns your everyday shopping into fundraising dollars to directly support hockey in Maitland.

Simply download the iSponsor app from the Apple App Store or Google Play, select Maitland Hockey as your group, add your Visa or Mastercard and start shopping – either online or instore. For every purchase you make, a percentage of the sale goes to support Maitland Hockey. Many big brand retailers are included – download the app and have a browse.

Money raised will directly support our Members with potential plans including:

• reducing costs for Members with subsidised umpire and turf fees
• support for our Representative teams with subsidised travel costs and/or entry fees
• support for coaching and development through subsidised clinics

Of course the level that we can achieve these plans is dependent on how successful the uptake of iSponsor is – so why not try it out and share with your family and friends!

This is an amazing opportunity to fundraise for Maitland Hockey. Over the coming weeks, we’ll share how it is tracking and provide more tips on how to get the most from the app.
