| PLAYER AGREEMENT AND MEDICAL PARTICULARS FORM | It is a requirement of all players selected to Hockey ACT and Canberra Regional teams to complete the player agreement and medical particulars form, before commencing competition. This form is now on hard copy and will be given to team members on selection. It is expected that all forms be handed into the Team Manager so they have information on hand if needed. |
| HOCKEY ACT REPRESENTATIVE STATE PLAYER SPONSORSHIP |
Each year Hockey ACT sends approximately 200 athletes to National Championships in both Outdoor and Indoor Hockey Tournaments across Australia. These championships allow athletes to develop and hone their hockey skills at an unprecedented level on the field, as well as further develop their interpersonal skills and sportsmanship off-field. The financial burden of these championships can be large, especially to those athletes representing the ACT in both Outdoor and Indoor championships. Whilst Hockey ACT endeavors to keep the cost as low as possible for our athletes, we can be restricted in our ability by location and accommodation available. Player sponsorship is one way you can assist our talented athletes in pursuing their endeavors, and helping them to develop their skills at a national level. Player sponsorship goes directly to reducing the fees of the sponsored player. |
