NT Hockey Association President’s Report

Another busy year in hockey has come and gone. I would like to extend a warm welcome to Baden Sharp who has recently taken over the role as Executive Officer. Suffice to say he has a challenging job ahead of him in the next few months as he tries to find his feet whilst addressing a number of time critical responsibilities as the new season approaches.

Hockey in the Northern Territory celebrated its’ 60th birthday last year. Well done to Doreen and her team at DHA for putting on a fitting celebration for our sport. As I looked back over the official testimonials from the 50 th anniversary of hockey in Darwin, I was reminded of all the inspirational individuals who made significant contributions to hockey in the formative years. It is appropriate from time to time to engage in mature reflection in regards to how our sport came into being in the Northern Territory, and its evolutionary processes in getting to where we are today. That said, it is also proper to reflect upon where the sport is currently positioned, and to hypothesise about where it will be placed for the next generation of players as we look to the future growth of hockey in the Northern Territory.

Any cursory perusal of the historical records indicates that those who forged the foundations of the sport in Darwin in order to get us to where we are today had positive visions that helped to put in place facilities that we now have which are on par with any in the country. These facilities have enhanced the skills and competitiveness of our players exponentially, providing a genuine pathway opportunity to the highest level for those that aspire to it.

Commensurate with the size of our player base, from a representative perspective we are punching well above our fighting weight. In the past 12 months we have had 2 players in the Australian Men’s team, one player in the Australian Women’s team, 2 players in the Australian Men’s Junior World Cup team and one player in the Australian Women’s Junior World Cup team.

These achievements are outstanding having regard for the size of our jurisdiction and are testament to our robust development pathway that we have been refining over many years. To think that we have had an Olympic medallist from the Northern Territory at every Olympics since 1996.

As proud as we all should be of these kinds of achievements we should be under no illusion where our sport is currently positioned. These are financially difficult times and the news as to the current state of play is not all beer and skittles. In recent years the Gove Hockey Association has in effect folded at in the context of proper field hockey is currently defunct. The Alice Springs competition continues only because of the untiring efforts of a few individuals who have dedicated their time and experience for many years on a continuous basis to ensure the competition remains viable. Their tenures can not

NT Hockey - 2009 Annual Report Page 9 continue forever, as even the most dedicated must finally take their leave. I worry if there are a new generation of individuals who are prepared to step up and ensure the sport continues in Alice Springs as it does today.

Whilst the competition here in Darwin is currently healthy and viable and has significant opportunity for growth and expansion as the Palmerston sporting precinct comes online, I proffer that the Darwin competition also only survives as it does thanks to the efforts of a few dedicated individuals who also continue to give their time freely to ensure this is the case. It appears those that are prepared to step up and contribute are largely the same year in and year out and their number are few as compared to those who only take from the sport and contribute little other than criticism and negativity. Unless more people are prepared to assist in the management and development of the sport the opportunities on offer will go begging.

One final point on the continued development of our talented athletes. This pathway is under serious threat from recent decisions taken by the NTIS and the NT Government. The operational budget for our athletes holding scholarships has been reduced in real terms by 80% in the latest sport agreement being offered by the Government. This appears to be in order to accommodate 5 new sports into the institute without any additional funding. The funding allocation from the institute should be based on results and meeting identified KPI’s. Hockey is the only sport truly meeting it’s KPI’s yet has been offered the same amount of funding as other sports who have not achieved anywhere near the same results.

As President, after serious soul searching and discussion with the Board I was unwilling to sign the current sports agreement in its current form. This decision has not been taken lightly. My strong view is that to sign the agreement in its current form would be to set us up to fail in that it would be the beginning of the end for our talented athletes, they would be unlikely to have the requisite support in the future to have the opportunity to play at the highest levels. A delegation from the Board is meeting with the Minister for Sport to discuss this and other important issues for Northern Territory hockey on Friday 5 th March and a short update should be available at the AGM on Saturday 6 th March of any outcomes or commitments given at that meeting. The signing of the sports agreement will be one of the most pressing issues for the new Board. I urge all with an active interest in our sport to properly inform themselves on the issue.

I said it last year in my report and I will say it again this year. Hockey in the Northern Territory is at a crossroads. We are getting very little support from Government relative to our athlete development and achievement. From a budgetary perspective we have been operating at a significant loss for a number of consecutive years and the status quo can not continue. Some hard decisions will need to be taken over coming months by the new Board as they deliberate over issues such as the setting of facility hire rates and levies going forward.

I can’t say it more bluntly than this. More people need to be prepared to ask themselves how they might make a small contribution to our sport. We all lead busy lives but if the

NT Hockey - 2009 Annual Report Page 10 majority of the player base continue to just play their game and go home the sport can not prosper.

Unfortunately my family situation has recently changed and I am not in a position to stand again as President. Thank you to the other Board members and office staff for their efforts and contributions during my tenure. I ask that you get behind the new President and Board and work collaboratively with Baden to advance our great sport. I wish the sport well and look forward to assisting the new Board in any way possible into the future.

A hectic 2008 continued at the end of the financial year with the hosting of the Men’s Veterans Competition. For a small organisation to run a tournament involving 49 teams was a great feat and a big thank you must go to all the staff, technical bench and volunteers who worked tirelessly to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible. It was great to see Joel Carroll join Des Abbott in the Kookaburra’s side. With Heather Langham selected for the Hockeyroos, and Leon Hayward making the Under 21 Australian side along with incumbent Adrian Lockley, NT Hockey’s pathways are continuing to breed success.

Sponsors The Northern Territory Government, through the Department of Sport and Recreation, and Northern Territory Institute of Sport, continue to be a major contributor to NT Hockey. Without their help we could not continue to have international class facilities and send away eight State Teams every year. We would also like to acknowledge the ongoing support of the following sponsors; Cazalys Palmerston Club, Parap Village Apartments, Kukri Sports, NAB, Express Signs and Austec Irrigation.

Development The addition of two staff members with hockey coaching skills was great news for NT Hockey in 08/09. While having no full-time development officer, the fact that our Operations Manager and Administration are both practicing coaches aided our part-time development officer to expand the current programs as well as focusing more on Hockey ED. Holiday camps and free come and try days have led to a big boost in Under 8s, with a focus now on keeping these kids through the pathway while improving their skills and increasing their enjoyment and knowledge of the game.

Events As previously mentioned, NT hosted the Men’s Veterans tournament in mid 2008. The first half of 2009 saw us organising AHL Home weekends, the Arafura Games, Under 18 Men’s Nationals and NT Under 15 Championships. This was a heavy workload for a small staff contingent, but I am proud to say we got through with flying colours. A big thank you to the interstate Under 18 players, officials, and supporters who showed great spirit on and off the field, and were always a pleasure to talk to.

Conclusion Hockey continues to be the only team sport in the Northern Territory to participate in the highest level of National competition. This is a battle financially for the players and NT Hockey, but a battle worth fighting when you achieve the results we have. Thank you to Hockey Australia and all the other States and Territories who have to continued to help NT Hockey and myself, we believe that there are a lot of positives to hockey’s future in Australia.

NTIS Annual Report 2009

The NTIS Hockey Program has experienced unprecedented success in 2009, with a record number of athletes representing Australia at all age levels. Further, as the new Olympic cycle begins we are already turning our attention to London 2012. Like Desmond Abbott has, many NTIS athletes are commencing along a road that will require long training hours, dedication, sacrifices, failures and success in order to emulate our past Olympians.

In 2009 Five NTIS athletes represented Australia in a range of International events. The year started with Heather Langham and Leon Hayward both winning medals at the Australian Youth Olympic Festival. This was followed by a series of International tours throughout the year in both Senior and Junior teams for Langham, Hayward, Abbott, Joel Carroll, Robert Duguid & Adrian Lockley. Carroll, Abbott & Langham were rewarded for their performances with AIS scholarships. Lockley & Hayward won Silver Medals at the Junior World Cup in July whilst Abbott won Gold and Langham came home with Silver at their respective Champions Trophy events which were held on home soil.

As part of an initiative to expand our athletes competition experiences NTIS players were involved in 3 SIS/SAS Interstate camps, 1 SIS/SAS tour to China, 2 NTID Camps and 1 Hockey Australia Futures Camp. This allowed our NTIS athletes to compete, train and experience elite competition against other SIS/SAS athletes and International opponents. 2 Camps were held during the Champions Trophy events and it allowed our potential male and female athletes to see first hand Elite International Teams vying for success against our very own players in Langham & Abbott. These tours are a first step in athletes realising their potential. Each tour provides a platform for each athlete to challenge themselves against the best in the country. They are also able to gauge their own developments and identify those areas for attention. A very sincere thank you must go to all you who supported these initiatives in time, effort and funds.

Many NTIS athletes represented the NT in State Teams in 2009. It was pleasing to see our NT sides winning games and demonstrating the skill level that is being developed locally. This ability to perform on a truly National Stage is a unique opportunity that Hockey has in the NT and we must continue to improve our performances on this big stage. It was extremely pleasing to see that all of our ‘Interstate based players’ continued to make themselves available for their respective teams. This provides strong role models and leadership to our local teams and the NTIS will continue to support this into the future

Over the past 12 months the NTIS has reshaped and streamlined the scholarships on offer. During the next 4 years the Hockey Program will have 3 Tiers of athletes – Individual Athlete Scholarships, Tier 1 & Tier 2 along with a Rookie program that will sit just outside of the NTIS. It is the aim of the NTIS Hockey program to provide an elite quality daily training environment for athletes who have the potential to become Australian representatives at either a Junior or Senior level.

The pressure will be on all of our athletes and coaches to continue to produce these outstanding results of 2009. I would like to thank all the athletes and all those involved with the NTIS Hockey program for their positive attitude, good humour and hard work throughout the year. Individual athlete success does not just happen. It is the result of many years of training and support from a wide range of people. Thank you to everyone who has been involved in the NTIS Hockey past present and future.

Darwin Hockey Association President’s Report

Darwin Hockey Association celebrated their 60th years of hockey with a few events, with a “Back to Alawa” day and a “Formal 60 th Anniversary Celebrations Dinner”. It was in recognition of the contribution of many hockey people from the hockey community over 60 years.

Darwin Hockey Association can boast that they have three and four generations of hockey families still currently participating and playing. These families continue to be a strong part of the community. We have also produced a number of players and officials who have gone on to play or officiate at the elite level, representing Australia and doing the Northern Territory proud.

Within Australia the Northern Territory has produced per captor the most number of National players from such a small player base and we can acknowledge that we are up there with the best.

It all started with the players in the junior competition with Darwin Hockey. With this in mind hockey can only continue to produce these players and officials well into in the future.

Keith Kemp was presented with life membership for his continued support to hockey. He received a standing ovation when presented with his life membership and a travel package to attend the ABN AMRO Hockey Champions Trophy - Men 2009 being held in Melbourne in November 2009 to watch one of our own Australian (Territory) representatives Desmond Abbott perform.

Darwin Hockey has coped well with the changes occurring in this day and age. With the increase of turf fees, rule changes and the financial economy have affected our hockey code in general and there are no easy answers to some of the issues and challenges we encounter.

DHA and clubs have to have the ability and willingness to accept and deal with change in a positive way. It is imperative that as an Association we all work together with a common goal of strengthening hockey, lifting the profile of the game while trying to attract more people to participate in hockey in Darwin and the Northern Territory.

NT Hockey - 2009 Annual Report Page 16

Recognition and Rewards for Keith Kemp is attached to this report.

The actions and failures of a few will affect the perception of hockey in the eyes of the community, media, players and clubs in general and sadly it is these few that gain the attention rather than the good news stories. It is reassuring the way our sport, its athletes and others respond to pressure and negativity and reinforce the strength and positive features incorporating management and good governance.

We all know the difficulties associated with getting volunteers and if participation is going to increase, it is because there is a commitment from volunteers in our sport .The community aspect of our sport is totally reliant on the quality and number of these people. There is undoubtedly strength in unity and we must work together more closely to improve hockey’s future position and image.

Thank you to those individuals who continue to give enormous amounts of time and dedication to the continued success of our sport. Athletes, coaches, officials and administrators together with volunteers, you are to be commended for the achievements seen as part of the overall success of the sport.

The support of the behind the scenes preparation is of equal importance. I am grateful for the support and commitment of the DHA committee who have ensured sound governance and effective operation of the organisation.

I appreciate their positive response to the additional demands on their time, and individually and collectively they bring considerable expertise and experience to the organisation. The commitment and professionalism of the committee is greatly appreciated. Sometimes the committee receives little recognition, but its contribution makes us an outstanding organisation.

Recognition and Rewards for Keith Kemp

An Order of Australia medal was recently awarded to one of hockey’s quiet achievers, Keith Kemp. Keith has always encouraged sport in the NT and hockey is just one of the activities he has been involved with over a period of more than fifty years.

Although Keith operates in a gentle manner, his drive and persistence is legendary. He is one of the most personally and financially generous people while demonstrating a spirit of quiet assertiveness that achieves long-term results.

Keith continues to impress many people in our community; from his peers to the youngest people he continues to be involved with. However it is Keith's personal touch and professional leadership that has earned him so much affection over so many years.

Keith’s commitment to hockey in the NT has covered such an extensive range that this summary barely covers the surface: • as a player in the local competition • committee member of the local clubs and association • President of the NT Association • Patron of NT Hockey • promotion of the game and support for clubs to develop their player base • an instigator for combining the NT men’s and women’s associations • negotiating with authorities to initially establish playing fields then played an active role in lobbying at national and Territory level to gain two astroturf hockey pitches • special focus on youth • promoting media involvement for the sport • a strong advocate in national hockey forums for the admission of NT junior and senior teams to be admitted to full national competition • a significant financial contributor • has played a role in the hockey careers of individuals • organised a 50th anniversary of hockey reunion including a hockey hall of fame and an anniversary hockey carnival • continues to participate in veteran competitions • his family is now in its third generation of hockey involvement • Life Member of the NT Hockey Association • awarded an Australian Hockey Association Merit Award for his work in establishing NT hockey • member of the Sport and Entertainment committee established following Cyclone Tracey • committee member of the NT Government's Hall of Fame • member of the Olympic Torch Relay • awarded an Australian Government Sports Medal

My Experiences

The tour of the United Kingdom with the Australian Schoolgirls was one of the, if not the best experience of my life. The team met for the first time in Singapore on the 3 rd of June, 2009. This was a very daunting experience as I knew no one. We were in Singapore for one night and while we were there we played a practise game for the first time as a team, against the Singapore under 18 girls team and we won 12- 0.

The next day we arrived in London after a 13 hour flight where we spent the day sightseeing. We went on the London eye, visited Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and saw much more. This was the most surreal day of my life.

The next day we got on the team bus and drove to Nottingham stopping via Oxford. In Nottingham we had two training sessions and played a few lead up matches preparing for our games against the English Under 18 girls National team and the Welsh under 18 girls team. Our first game was against Lincoln College and we won 7-0.

The next game was against Sutton cold fields (this is a district college team) and was played in Birmingham. This was a team full of college players and experienced players including 4 time Olympian Jane Sixsmith. We won 4-3 in a very intense and challenging game.

The next game was against Combined British Colleges (this team was made up of players who were selected from over 500 colleges in Britain) in Nottingham and was the last lead up match. We won 5-0, it was the perfect preparation for the match against England and Wales.

The day before our game the Spanish women’s hockey team played against the English hockey team. It was such a good motivating game to watch before our game against Under 18 English hockey team in Nottingham. We won 5-4 in a very tough, tiring game. It was a good, deserving win where the tables were continuously turning but at the end of the day we proved victorious.

After the game we travelled to Cardiff, Wales. Here we had a training session at the Sophia Gardens Sporting Complex which was at the Wales Institute of Sport. We saw the women’s Welsh team play a practise game which was such a good experience.

The next day we played another big game against the under 18’s Welsh hockey team where we won 4-0. Wales were a tough opposition however we remained in control throughout the game which a big task.

The next day we had our last game against Bristol University in Bristol. We won 6-0, a great way to finish the tour, undefeated. In between games we also visited towns such as Bath and went sightseeing in Cardiff, Nottingham and Oxford. I saw some amazing landmarks such as the Stonehenge, the Roman Baths, Oxford University and the remains of Sherwood Forest.

The tour was such a good experience as a developing hockey player. Coach Vicki Poyser played me in many positions such as fullback, left half, right half, and inside forward. This gave me both confidence and experience playing at a top level against tough opposition. I also met lots of knew people, made some good friends and travelled to three different countries. It was an honour to play for my country with 15 other girls from around the country and will remember the memories from the tour for life.

NT Hockey - 2009 Annual Report Page 22 Australian Women Veterans Report

I played for the Australian 50s in a three match test series against New Zealand. The event was staged at North Harbour Hockey Association in Auckland.

A squad of 16 players represented Australia from Queensland, Victoria, South Australia, NSW, Tasmania, West Australia and me from the NT.

We were very well coached and managed by Graeme Wakefield and Robyn Anderson both from Queensland. We also had a wonderful back up team of massage therapists, selectors and supporters. I can honestly say I have never experienced such a great team spirit in a representative group thrown together with just a few days to prepare for an event, it was just a real honour to be a part of the group.

The games were all hard fought, very competitive but also very enjoyable. Australia won the first game 2-1. The second was a 1-1 draw but as is the norm in these events penalty strokes were taken and Australia won. I scored the goal I have long dreamed of to bring the scores to 1-1, a lobbed penalty corner which sailed high into the top corner! It was a very special moment! The third game was equally hard fought but unfortunately New Zealand came out on top 2-1. We were presented with really impressive gold medals at the end of the event.

All in all a wonderful experience and one I would recommend to all Vets in the NT. I felt very proud to be wearing the green and gold but also to be carrying the ochre and black with me!
