Register… NOW!

Friday, April 12th, 2013

Hi Mac Members,

We’re into the final days of registration. If you haven’t done so, please visit the website NOW: http://macunihockey.org/registration/

There are still quite a few Men AND Women who haven’t signed up and if you would like to play a game this weekend, you need to register before the weekend. If you would like a uniform to play in I suggest you register TODAY as our uniform team are sorting out distribution to coaches before your games.

So all in all, if you haven’t registered, I’m issuing a butt-kicking that you should stop putting it off and do it NOW!

AND finally, thank you to all the amazing maguts that have organised rego and uniforms – you are the loves of my life :)

That is all, Steff VP, MUHC

*All Macquarie Women’s teams have games this Sunday* so please read this to find the team, where and when you’ll be playing, what uniform to wear and what you need to do before playing.

If you have not registered yet, you will need to do so before Sunday: http://macunihockey.org/registration/ NOTE: There is a temporary glitch in the confirmation email you receive and it has been quoting uniform costs rather than full fees plus uniform costs.

Uniforms will be distributed on Thursday night (1st Grade) or before your game on Sunday by coaches so please allow enough time to get changed if you do not have yours yet – you will need proof of rego before receiving it.

1st & 2nd Grade Squads

Tuesday, March 19th, 2013

Ladies,

Thankyou all for your attendance at training and trials so far. We know it has been a long preseason but your efforts have been greatly appreciated and hopefully the head start will pay off when the season begins in a few weeks time.

We have endeavoured to bring greater transparency to the selection process this year with the publication of a selection policy (attached in case you missed it). A major focus of this year will be player development and a more aligned play style throughout the 4 womens teams.

We would like to stress that the squads we have picked are not final and there is scope for players to move up and down between all grades throughout 2013. In order to facilitate greater player development and provide opportunities for players it is anticipated that there will some degree of rotation between the squads.

Please find the 1st and 2nd grade squads as named below. Teams for 3rds and 4ths will be named shortly.

Training will continue as usual on Mondays from 7-8.30pm. Please ensure you are there at least 20 minutes early so we are warm and ready to hit the field at 7pm.

NOTE: People named in the 1st grade squad will be expected to attend an additional training session on Thursday night 9-10.30pm at Pennant Hills. This will run every week until at least the 11th April.
