The teams play in the Northern Area Junior Hockey Competition & Warringah Super 6 Competition which start on Friday night the 13th March for u14/16/18's and Saturday morning 14th March 2026 for u10/12's. Please note these dates may changed once the draw is finalised.

Registrations are now OPEN for the 2026 Turf Season - CLICK HERE 

Pre-season training is commencing soon so we are keen to welcome new players - please register as soon as you can

During the season the draw and results will be available at: http://www.nahockey.org.au

We are fielding teams in the following grades for 2026:

• U18 -  (numbers permitting)
• U16A Metro
• U16B
• U14A Metro
• U14B
• U12A/B

We are currently requesting expressions of interest for coaches to join our existing roster for 2026. If you would like to know more please contact the club at mosmanjuniorhockey@gmail.com. Coaches will be finalised once final registrations are confirmed. Parents who would like to assist with, or learn to coach are most welcome. 

We will require managers for the teams. This means being available on match day, sitting in the dugout with the team, managing the team lists, sending game notifications and collating results. It's quite fun and you don't need hockey knowledge. Please contact us if you are able to assist!

SQUADS

We love our squad system. There will be three sqauds - U12, U14 & U16

Squads train together, there will be social activities organised within those groups and we will be staging some friendly fixtures for them during the year.

Playing:
All players in a squad will have an appointed team, but dependant on availability, suitability and timing, they should expect they can play up and across in other teams.

Social:
During the season, we plan to have some pizza parties and BBQs after the matches, particularly when teams are at the same venue or play each other. 

Training:
Training during regular season will be as follows (subject to confirmation):

• U12  Monday 5:30pm - 6:30pm  Northern District Hockey Complex, Pennant Hills or Narrabeen TBC
• U14 Monday 6:15pm (off field warm up) 6:30 - 7:30pm Northern District Hockey Complex, Pennant Hills or Narrabeen TBC
• U16 Monday 7:15pm (off field warm up) 7:30 - 8:30pm Northern District Hockey Complex, Pennant Hills or Narrabeen TBC

While we have different gradings for teams, the players in the same age group ALWAYS train together. There is no privilege for the top team, no special tracksuits, no difference in coaching. This is best socially and it raises the overall standard of training.

Squads

We will be appointing a parent in each age group as Age Group Coordinator. Their role will be to coordinate some of he above (with assistance of course). I'd welcome any volunteers who would like to take this on, or share the role. No hockey knowledge is required, but you need to be an experienced hockey-sideline-tragic who would be there at every game anyway.

The format will be much the same as every year previously: we will train, play some matches and create a relatively stress-free environment at the trainings.

People have asked about team selections - we have a very high exposure to all the players through club, rep & indoor - we use data from previous playing seasons, while also factoring in their improvement, current fitness and maturity when forming teams. We invite some independent selectors to attend in the training, we tend to use a variety of inputs rather than just a formal matrix of indexed skills and don't comprehensively rank the players as some other clubs do.

It's important to communicate that the following are just as important in our Club culture as playing ability:

• Attitude towards the team and coaches
• Training ethics and 'coachability'
• Attendance and timeliness
• Social aspects - playing with friends, confidence, enjoyment
• So does it matter if players do not attend the training and trials? Well, it isn't always a problem, but it is advisable to notify us. It's also good to have clear communication with us about the intentions or goals of the players.

Finally, parents should be careful about overlaying expectations or pressure onto the players. If they are disappointed with the original selection outcome the advice is to come and train with the squad, buckle-down, show hard work and determination and they will always 'bubble-up' to the right spot in the squad system. This is also true of the rep environment - some of the most succesful players were 'slow-burners' in the young age groups, but their good attitude and ethics have seen them thrive as they get older.
