Hockey Manawatu use this selection criteria to select both our U18 and Senior level teams. This Criteria can be broken up into three key aspects, Physical, Technical and Team Prescence. In order to be selected into one of our representative teams, it is important to know what are coaches are looking for!
The New Zealand COVID-19 Protection Framework (traffic lights system) came into effect on 3 December 2021, from which date a valid 'My Vaccine Pass' was required for access to the entire Hockey Manawaty facility.
In order for us to comply with the new COVID protection framework (traffic light system), valid Vaccine Passes are required to host or participate in sports or events within our HMI facility.
To assist with these requirements, we have added the following compulsory section to our registration forms:
ALL PLAYERS registering for our 2022 U18 Academy and/or U18 Trials are required to complete these sections
Please note all visitors are also required to comply with the following general measures:
It is important that we provide our staff, members, and visitors with a safe environment in which they can play hockey and enjoy our facilities, including the turfs, café, bar and clubhouse.
We encourage our members and visitors to get vaccinated as soon as possible and to download their ‘My Vaccine Pass’ on a scannable device, to continue enjoying hockey experiences at our facilities.
Please continue to treat everyone in our community with respect, kindness and understanding no matter if their views may be different to your own.
