Get thinking about pre-season already…we have plenty in the pipeline already!

The season may only just be over but we are already putting all our plans in place for next year!

With that in mind please note some of the following dates for your diaries…

Ladies pre-season & SMART Training Bootcamp
ALL ladies pre-season will commence on the BACK pitch (while front is in the process of being replaced) on the 11th of August. Pre-season is open to all ladies players no matter what team you are on. Your coach for the season may not necessarily be present from the very start but as this date gives us a 7 week lead in to the first league games for all teams, the first few weeks are mainly for increasing fitness. Please mark off this date…more info will follow in the coming weeks.

While thinking of fitness we are delighted that Jonny (JB) of SMART Training will be holding a bootcamp for all ladies from the 11th of August also. Again this is open to all. More details re times and costs will follow.

SuperCup
The Super Cup is back again this year after its successful return last year. This year we will host the mixed tournament with quality hockey and plenty of socialising on the 5th/6th/7th of September. This is likely to be the first event on our brand spanking new pitch so we’re very excited about hosting the event again this year!

Registration Day
Bar tokens this year will be available to those who pay their subs in full at our registration day on the 27th of September. All subs are due in by the last day of September or you will not be insured to play. Bar tokens will be handed out in person to all who pay or have paid already in full on this day. If you pay via bank transfer please come with proof of payment to get your tokens
No bar vouchers will be given out after this date

Fundraising
While we are delighted to be replacing our front pitch this summer lets not forget we have another pitch out the back to also think about!! This pitch also needs to be replaced as soon as possible. With this in mind it is imperative that we continue on from the great work of the Dream Auction last season.
This coming year EVERY team will be set a target of €1000 to raise for the club. This can be done with events both inside and outside of the club, and of course teams can join together in order to create a larger event if they wish. Again, more details will follow but get the thinking caps on about what kind of events or ideas you can bring to your team.
