Hockey is nearing its return date and it is all systems go at Casey Cannons with the club set to host its season launch this Saturday.
Not only is it a great opportunity for all current and past players to get down and watch some of the teams during their practice matches, but also a good opportunity for new members to sign up.
It is a big season ahead for the Cannons, with the men’s team set for a promotion into the Vic League 1 competition after a strong season which saw them finish as minor premiers, before narrowly going down to Werribee in the grand final.
The club is also introducing an open-age Monday night team, another women’s team and a few more junior sides.
Casey Hockey Club president Seann Rowland encouraged locals to get down to the season launch on Saturday between 11am-3pm.
“We have a lot of stuff organised for the day which is good, we are hoping to get all of the current members down there and hopefully some new faces as well,” he said.
“We have practice matches arranged against other clubs for our Men’s and Women’s Vic League 1 teams – we have registrations open, uniform shop open, a coffee van and jumping castle for the kids.”
Rowland said the objective for the upcoming season was to continue growing the club.
“We are just getting as many people involved as we can and giving them teams to participate in week in, week out,” he said.
“The juniors had a great season across the board last year, we made four grand finals and managed to win three premierships, which was a really good effort.
“The aim is to continue to grow, develop the players and the club, and keep it moving in the right direction.”
