In line with Hockey Victoria’s new development Strategy, there will be 6 metropolitan and 4 regional zones competing in the Junior State Championships. The State Championships are a vital part of talented young players development, helping them to achieve the best of their potential.

Kew Junior HC is part of the North East Metro Zone – commonly known as the Red Devils.  Please note that selection trials for the Red Devils commence very early in the season, so please carefully note the timelines on the attached information.

Red Devils flyer key zone dates for clubs

Another initiative from Ken Parkin – the Red Devils Head Coach – is that he will run a “Pre-Trial Programme” for players who

1. were not selected for Red Devils last year, and
2. have nominated for this year.

This terrific initiative is to aid the development of kids who get very close, but just miss out.  It is stressed this is NOT part of the selection process (no selectors will attend).  It is desinged to give players an idea of the standard required to be selected and hopefully correct some faults prior to the trials.

Also note that nominating for the trials this year will be online – through the Hockey Victoria website.

If you have any more questions regarding the Red Devils for 2010 please call our Red Devils club representative – Joe Hassall on 0418 388 975.

Match Highlights

It was a case of 16 versus 19,000 when the Kookaburras took on India in front of their home crowd in New Delhi at the 2010 World Cup, with the Kookaburras rising to the occasion to win 5-2.

The win keeps the Kookaburras well in truly in the hunt for a semi finals berth, moving them to second place in their pool after Spain suffered a surprise 2-1 loss to Pakistan in the earlier match. Read more »

This year the KEW Junior club will be fielding 15 teams.  This is a massive increase from only 9 teams fielded four years ago – but still less than half compared to Greensborough, Doncaster and Camberwell.

This increase is directly related to our efforts conducting School Clinics, Hook into Hockey and Minkey.  This is all happening again right now – and we need plenty of help in this recruiting effort.

Please examine the following dates and advise me by email of the dates you can help.  If EVERYONE can assist with two of these sessions, then our club gets stronger again.

1. School clinics are kicking off next week; we’ve locked in a couple of schools so far – still trying to get a couple more.  Assistance is needed on weekdays throughout February – starting next Monday 15 February – going every day through to Friday March 13. If you can do a morning session, an afternoon session, or even a full day – that would be a great help.
2. Hook into Hockey starts on Sunday 28 February at 10.00am, and then runs on Tues afternoons at 5.00pm, and Sunday mornings at 10.00am throughout March.
