Sutherland Minkeys – Ages 4 to 9

All ready for Minkey at Sutho. The Class of ’21.

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 hockey across Australia is also known as “HOOKin2HOCKEY”

Our Minkey program introduces hockey to 4 to 9-year-old girls and boys. It provides a great opportunity for kids to learn and develop their hockey skills, with the added benefit of developing their social skills in small mixed groups.

Minkey introduces girls and boys to the basic skills and rules of hockey using fun activities in a social atmosphere. The program does not involve any actual teams or competition games.

The Minkey program is run on Friday afternoons (4:30 pm–6 pm) throughout school Term 2 and the first half of Term 3.
