I have been on the Hockey WA (HWA) Board for five years, during which time I have seen a significant change in the composition and performance of both the Board and management. With the support of Council and the Board, I am looking forward to leading HWA into the next phase of growth and development. In 2011 HWA published a Strategic Plan which sets out the purpose and direction of the association. This plan outlines a mission, “to manage the sustainable development and promotion of hockey for everyone”, and a vision, “Hockey everywhere for everyone”, which is underpinned by five core strategic platforms of Organisation, Revenue, High Performance, Participation and Facilities. Each area has a set of targeted outcomes that are a key part of the Board’s agenda. A number of significant achievements have been made against this plan during 2013 and these are set out below. Organisation - the management structure at Hockey WA has been revamped over the last 12 months with the appointment of Peter Churack as CEO, a revitalised management team and department structure. The current management team at Hockey WA is the most experienced we have had in my time at Hockey WA. This has been a key deliverable for the Board with our focus now on improving the communication and collaboration between the Board, management and wider HWA community. Revenue - A key concern for the Board over the past 5 years has been the ongoing financial viability of the association. Hockey is a sport which requires solid medium to long term planning to enable the substantial financial commitments required to maintain our current artificial turfs and to build new turfs. There have been difficult decisions to be made by the Board over the last few years which have impacted all stakeholders, however I am very pleased to advise that the Board believes we have now achieved a financial balance and our focus is being redirected from ensuring HWA is financially sustainable to looking at how to further grow the sport. High Performance - HWA takes great pride in the performance of our elite athletes in both our local and national competition. As an association we are committed to balancing our support for both our senior elite players while developing new talent through our junior ranks. We have a new model in the High Performance area with Melissa Grey (nee Hall) setting up a broader coaching system for our juniors which is allowing more juniors to be exposed to higher quality coaching and advice. Over the last 12 months we have initiated both the HWA Talent Accelerant Program (TAP) and the HWA Academy Program which provide stepping stones for the development of 180 talented juniors between the ages of 13 and 20 years of age to WAIS and Hockey Australia high performance programs. Participation - The Board of HWA realises that the long term viability of hockey as a sport relies on increasing player numbers across all ages and grades. Hockey has enjoyed sustained growth in player numbers at all levels across WA for many years, having averaged 3% growth over the last 5 years. The challenge for the ongoing growth of the sport across WA is the increasing demand for synthetic turfs, discussed below. We will continue to promote and develop the sport; however, the immediate focus will be on the development of new facilities to allow us to support the planned growth in numbers. Facilities - Currently, the development of new synthetic facilities is the single biggest challenge for HWA. Limitations of existing facilities, expected growth in player numbers along with growing demand to use turf from our existing players means that growth of hockey in WA is constrained by the limited capacity of our current facilities. This will be a major focus in the coming year with plans being developed to not only provide guidance on potential financial support from HWA but also to provide clubs with tangible support through the feasibility process. HWA is also looking at working with clubs and government directly to expedite the approval and development process. The strategic plan sets out the way forward for HWA as agreed by the association members and, as the members’ representatives, it is the Board’s responsibility to ensure that the objectives in the plan are being worked towards and achieved. While the strategic plan is reviewed and refined over time the underlying driver will always remain, the development of hockey for all, be it elite or social, veterans or minkey.
