Project / Program Description
Officiating Hockey Victoria continued its focus on developing officials across all levels in 2017. The course Development calendars were streamlined and set in advance resulting in greater awareness and ultimately greater attendance numbers.
On the back of the LEC’s Hockey Education criteria, we have seen a significant increase of Level 2 Umpires and Coaches, as well as greater numbers of Level 1 Technical Officials.
One of the key developments was the re-launch of the Hockey Victoria Officiating Committee (HVOC). After several years of inactivity, the committee was reformed in July, and have already commenced with new strategies to ensure the officials development is progressing.
New Social 2017 has seen the new social hockey formats delivered in four new locations in addition to Hockey Format – the Footscray Hockey centre. J-Ball was introduced in Geelong and Hockey Sixers for Juniors VicHealth Project and Adults was rolled out at Farm Rd in Moorabbin, while KE40 was trialled at Doncaster and Werribee.
The new social hockey formats also gained traction nationally, with both Hockey ACT and Hockey NT successfully piloting the programs.
Overall, just over 500 people have now been engaged in one of the three new formats developed with VicHealth’s support over the past two years, with exciting new developments planned for next year.

Women’s Senior Country Championship saw 19 Women’s teams battle it out in four divisions over the three days in Geelong, while 16 Men’s teams took to the field at Greensborough Hockey Centre. The event also served as a great platform for providing Hockey Ed courses to the regional affiliates.

Indoor Hockey The biggest development on the indoor hockey front was securing all year access to the Melbourne Sports & Aquatic Centre (MSAC) indoor court, which commenced in October.
Having access to a FIH specification indoor hockey court has had an immediate impact on participation, with 25 additional teams participating in the Indoor Hockey Season.
Indoor Competition saw clubs compete in 15 competitions from Open age to U11, with the Premiers coming from 12 different clubs.
Capping off the successful indoor hockey year were Senior and Junior Indoor Club Championship. 72 teams (including the first ever regional indoor hockey teams – U13 boys and girls from Wodonga) competed in the Club Championships with each Championship won by a different club, which is fantastic for the development of Indoor Hockey.
