Social Hockey

Sunday Summer Social Series
Mixed, Modified, Mentored

What is it?

The Vikings’ Sunday Summer Social Series is a supportive social hockey competition, that brings together juniors and seniors, newbies and experienced players, in an inclusive environment that we describe as Mixed, Modified and Mentored.

It is Mixed meaning that it comprises boys and girls, juniors and seniors; Modified in that we restrict certain hockey skills to ensure the format is as safe as we can make it given the mix of juniors and adults on the pitch, and Mentored, where experienced players support new players and each other.

 

 

 

 

 

In 2024 we found this format accelerated the development of junior players (and adult newbies) because they were not being supported by a single coach on the sideline, but by up to 7 experienced players all around them – including from the other team! That is the culture we are building at Vikings in our unique social format – everyone is a mentor, and everyone is a mentee. The results so far have been nothing short of outstanding!

Who is it for?

Perfect for juniors (and their parents!) who are new to the sport but are keen to try. Participating in Summer Social helps to develop their skills and friendships in a safe and inclusive environment where no one will get upset with players who are still learning.

 

The Summer Social is also perfect for experienced juniors and seniors or players returning to hockey from absence or injury, wanting to get some conditioning before the winter season, or who enjoy playing a social series.

Where and when is it?

Sunday 2 February to Sunday 23 March (8 weeks)

 

9:30AM & 10:30AM games

Tuggeranong Hockey Park, 288 Soward Way, Greenway
