Regional Road Show
Annually in February & March, Hockey Victoria partners with Country Affiliates to deliver its Regional Road Show, where Hockey Victoria coaches travel to a regional location and deliver a week of school clinics in the lead up to an Association run HookIn2Hockey program. This model has proven to be successful in raising hockey’s local profile and establishing sustainable HookIn2Hockey centres in several regional centres including Bendigo, Mildura, Echuca and Shepparton.
