Junior Development

MPHC offers programs to cater to and help develop Junior’s skills at all stages. There are plenty of opportunities for the kids to learn, from training with our senior teams to participating in holiday programs, all of which are made to benefit their growing skill-set.

Hookin2Hockey

This is Hockey Australia’s national recruitment program with the purpose of introducing children to the sport, who have not been previously been involved. This program has a fun, friendly atmosphere that allows children to gain both skills and friends simultaneously.

The eight-week program will teach participants the basic skills giving them the opportunity to not only fall in love with our game, but providing them with a dream that one day they can represent Australia — whose teams are among the world’s best at the Olympic Games.

If you have missed the first session, don’t worry, you are welcome to come to any of the sessions once registered.
