  1. From Laddie Bardy

Laddie is hoping to get a Master Mens competition going this year.

He would like to meet with a representative of each club at 6.30pm on Thursday May 10 at the Wodonga Hockey field.  Can each club please send along at least one person.

Please bring with you some ideas regarding the format, how it should run,  when it should happen, if it should be serious or social, should there be a come and try option to encourage new or returning players etc

Laddie can be contacted on the email address above if you can’t make the meeting but would be interested in helping or providing some feedback.

U14 Boys Draw alteration

Posted on April 24, 2018 by abeath
U14 boys
Dear Clubs,
This week I am altering the draw to accomodate an 8th side into the U14s draw.
The new side will be known as Magpies Black.
This will see the bye now being abolished and the team with the bye playing Magpies Black.
As for the first 3 rds how that is accomodated for the sides is to be decided and I will be in touch with those clubs affected.
This should be the last of any changes and once rd 4 is played no other teams can enter the competition.
Any questions please let me know. Thank you.

Kind Regards

Level 1 Coaching Course

Posted on April 12, 2018 by abeath
Hey all,

Just a reminder to ask your coaches to consider this course, which is an important part of our strategic plan to raise the profile of hockey in our region. As of this morning, only 4 (four) participants had signed up. This is massively disappointing, and does not tally with the verbal feedback I have been receiving.
This is not enough people to justify running the course. Obviously the last thing we want to do is cancel the course, but unless the numbers pick up over the next week, say, that’s probably going to be the move we have to make.
I would also like to re-iterate the call that was made by the clubs last year that all our coaches need to be qualified at the appropriate level going forward. We are doing all that we can to facilitate this by hosting this course locally rather than asking our coaches to travel to Melbourne.
Hopefully we can boost those numbers in the next few days!
Many thanks,
Doug.

Regards

2018 Marshals

Posted on April 3, 2018 by abeath

To all clubs,

Just a reminder to have your marshals organised for the first round.  A big thanks to “Mr Sparkie” who has continued to sponsor the vests for us.

The Marshalls will be in use for the 2018 season from round 1.  Please remember to organise a person for each game that your club is participating in.

The vests will be with:

  • Albury – at the canteen
  • Wodonga – at the canteen (or hanging in the umpires dugout)
  • Corowa – with United
  • Wangaratta – with Wangaratta
  • Beechworth – with Beechworth

Please ensure that when the game is finished that they immediately go back to where they came from for the next team to use.

Remember that the Marshals must:

  • be 18 years of age or older;
  • wear the vest as this readily identifies them as your Marshall;
  • walk around the field used throughout the match and ensure they are clearly visible to Spectators, and are in an appropriate spot for monitoring off-field incidents and behaviour;
  • the Marshall must, if it is safe to do so, remind spectators  of their obligation to comply with the HAW Code of Behaviour and issue any reasonable direction
  • If any spectator fails to comply with the Marshalls reasonable directions, the Marshal should contact their Club for further assistance. If required the Club official representative is to contact the police or relevant emergency services for support;
  • not engage in any verbal or physical altercations;
  • not consume alcohol or smoke while acting as a Marshall;
  • not, unless it is safe to do so, approach opposition Spectators  behaving inappropriately and must instead approach the opposition Marshall to resolve any issues.

Further details are in the policy on the HAW web

If there are issues then the appropriate form on the web is to be filled in and sent to admin@haw.net.au (or put in the results box)

The form to report any issues (which ideally will not be needed) can be located at http://www.haw.net.au/Information/Rules-Policies

Training for 2018 start of year

Posted on April 3, 2018 by abeath

To all clubs training on the Albury and Wodonga fields

Training for many clubs is starting in the next week or two.  Please be aware that all training on the HAW synthetic fields should be conducted with the goals on the sides on the field to help preserve the field condition.  If you are going on to train and they are at the ends, please move them to the sides.

When the season starts

  • Norths (AHC1) and Magpies (AHC2) will be responsible for moving the goals to the side of the field

Until the Wodonga field is ready

  • Wodonga (AHC1) and Beechworth (AHC2) will be responsible for moving them back

Once the Wodonga field is able to be used

  • Spitfires/Strikers (AHC1) and Falcons (AHC2) will be responsible for moving them back
  • Beechworth will be responsible for moving the goals before training on Tuesday night and Wodonga for moving them back after their training finishes.

Thanks for your assistance with this.

Regards

Great Umpire Opportunity for HAW

Posted on March 5, 2018 by abeath

To all clubs,

The 2018 season is approaching and we are in planning stage for all aspects of the year including umpires.

We are very lucky to have Stirling Sharpe from Hockey ACT coming to visit us on Saturday 17 March.  He will be delivering some umpiring courses for us.  Stirling is the Umpiring and Coaching Development Coordinator for HACT and he umpires at local, national and international level, so this is a great opportunity for our local umpires to learn from someone with a wealth of experience.

Course 1 – New and Beginner Umpires                  2pm-3pm

Stirling will present a course to assist new and beginner umpires to better understand the role and how to do it.

Course 2 – Intermediate Umpires                            3.30pm-4.30pm

If you have umpired for a while then this is the course for you.

Course 3 – Capital League Umpiring                         5pm – 6pm

If you are aspiring to umpire at the highest level locally, we would like you to make the most of this opportunity to talk with Stirling about how Capital League will work this year from an Albury umpiring perspective.

Please canvass your members.  If each club could please send at least 3 representatives to the first two courses, and one to the Capital League course.  Of course more are welcome.

Could clubs please respond to admin@haw.net.au by Monday 12 March with the names of their club members who will be coming along.

And can you please canvass your members for any new or returning umpires who would like to be on the umpire email list for this year and send their names to umpires@haw.net.au.

Remember that without umpires we do not have a game.

Regards
