The WGJS hockey season commenced with seven of our
hockey coaches attending a SAHA Level 0 and Level 1 Hockey
Coaching Course. It is extremely important that our coaches
educate themselves on foundations and the basics of hockey so
that they can impart their knowledge to the players. Participation
and inclusivity have been our number one focus this year and we
have achieved an unprecedented depth in hockey through all of
the age groups.
When the whistle blows, WGJS Hockey players and coaches
are all ready to take to the field. Our girls are equipped with basic
skills and knowledge of the game and they understand that
having fun is the most important part of playing this truly amazing
game. Every week we see our Wynberg Girls, supported by their
parent’s positive cheers of encouragement, take to the astro
ready to showcase what they have learnt in the year.
Our Grade 1 classes are exposed to multiple sporting codes with
hockey being one of them. Every week we see improvement
and especially in term three there has been a marked grasping
of the basic hockey concepts. Our young Grade 2s and 3s have
shown remarkable improvement throughout the year as they
are continuously developing and working on the skills needed
for hockey. In this fun and safe to fail environment we work on
different elements relating not only to hockey but most sports
and movement.
