This enables non playing officials an entitlement to a voice and a vote at Club meetings and covers you for insurance around the turf.

There is also now a category for volunteer administrators and supporters who want to be involved with the Club. There is no fee payable for this type of membership.

summer twilight competition – in order to encourage more players of all ages to come and try hockey, there is no longer a registration fee for players involved only in the summer twilight competitions. This category does not provide insurance through Hockey NSW – players take the field at their own risk. The Club recommends summer twilight players maintain their own private health insurance. Games are on a ‘pay as you play’ basis. Players who choose to later register for the winter season will need to select the relevant membership category for the season.
