hoenix Hockey Club is playing an important role in their local community by providing people with an opportunity
to play the game in a safe and enjoyable environment. Club Development Officer Carl Wright took the time to tell us
more about the set up they currently have in place.
He said, “I have been involved at the club for 4 years now. I
originally joined to be the men’s 1st XI coach and straight away
got involved in a lot of the other things that the club had going
on.
“The most challenging aspect of the club at the moment is
probably the lack of volunteers to take on roles. Having been
involved with a few different clubs across multiple sports I
think this is an on-going trend. However with that said the club
continues to develop and move forward and that is a testament
to the structure that the club has in place.
The most rewarding piece is continuing to see the club develop
across a broad range of areas including –
• Facilities - we have recently re-laid our Astro Turf which we
completed before the start of last season
8 Issue 10
• Media - We have redeveloped our website, communication and
membership processes to assist with the general administration
and running of the club
• Playing - We have introduced a disability section at the club
which is continuing to grow
• Youth - we have introduced a number of satellite initiatives
with local schools which are continuing to grow and get new
people playing hockey”
Atmosphere
“The general mood is positive, the club is continuing to develop
and we are starting to see a lot of new faces. The new season
is just around the corner and we are hoping that it will be a
successful one for all involved.”
