How Your Support Will Help Club Established in 1956, by a group of families that where committed to providing a local, safe and enjoyable environment for players of all ages and abilities by create an environment where friends become family through the great sport of Hockey. This continues to be our club s vision. Hornets Hockey Club prides itself on being a family club with an emphasis on getting parents involved in their children s activities. Many of our senior players have their kids playing juniors on a Saturday afternoon with father/son/daughter/brother/sister/wife/husband combinations frequently seen playing on Saturday afternoons. A number of our senior players have played together for many years and have seen a lot of members come and go, which can be contributed to the changing economic environment. Our club considers all funds coming into our organisation as being integral to the running of the club and to ensure a strong future for both our players and members. In 2017, we have worked hard as a club to identify areas within our club that will improve the sustainability and participation numbers. For 2018 we have set achievable goals, which will assist all members, from players, spectators, coaches and volunteers within the club to provide a club that is offering a professional yet social environment for the local Mount Isa community. Your sponsorship will directly invest in the development of our members, coaching staff and volunteers through things such as: Maintaining affordable membership / club fees for our junior members We are aiming to provide incentive options for juniors that bring a friend to register and play hockey. Presently we do not have an U16 team in the junior competition, however 2018 we are striving to rectify this.
Player development programs Working with the local RIHP Development Officer, club coaches and volunteers, we are aiming to hold skill development sessions throughout the year. These sessions will promote skill development across the grades and also representative preparation for any club members that wish to take that pathway. Coaching accreditations Coaching development is vital for the growth of hockey and our club is aiming to hold 2 coaching courses in 2018. All coaches currently have Community Coaching Certificates and for their development the club is aiming in supporting them to achieve their Level 1 Certificate. Umpiring accreditations Without umpires our games wouldn t happen. In order to contribute to the hockey association as a whole we are aiming to have 4 Community Umpire / Level 1 accreditations gained within the club in 2018 Sun safety options In 2018 we as a club will be promoting sun safety. As we don t have our own fields / clubroom, will have discussed options of how we will do this. We feel that a 6 x 3 and 3 x 3 gazebo, which will be set up each week at both senior and junior games, which will enable players and spectators the option of shade. These would be specially designed to allow promotion of club but also to a potential sponsor with their logo printed on the canvas.

The fees cover the costs and maintenance for volunteers to maintain the fields and facilities. Fees are currently set at $1000 per year.
