If it’s the start of school term 2, it must be Sutho Minkey Time again! And it is: registrations are open for 5-9-year-olds taking their first steps in the wonderful sport of hockey.
The action starts next Friday at 4.30 pm.
What’s Minkey?
Minkey hockey – or mini hockey – is a program that introduces girls and boys to the basic skills of hockey through fun hockey-based activities.
Minkey 2022 begins at Sutho next Friday, 29 April and each Friday from 4:30 pm-6 pm throughout school Term 2 and the first half of Term 3.
The Minkey Program is all about ensuring the youngsters have a lot of fun whilst learning the initial skills of playing hockey. At Sutherland Hockey Club the participants get to run around enjoying themselves on our Olympic standard synthetic playing field.
Everyone who took part in Minkey last year should have received an email from our Club with your personalised link invitation to register. Please click on that link and register before the program fills up (prior participants will gain priority if you register asap).
