We also aim to make hockey the 'game for everyone' - a sport that is accessible and enjoyable for male and female Australians of all ages and backgrounds. MISSION Achieving this vision will require the collective efforts of the Australian hockey community. This community includes the leading administrative bodies - Hockey Australia and the State Hockey Associations - and the many thousands of volunteers within regional associations, hockey clubs and schools throughout the country.
