REMINDERS: Stay Informed: There may be last-minute changes to fixtures, teams, or venues. GSV Sport planning is quite dynamic, so please be proactive by regularly checking your team's communications and announcements. Make sure to keep your parents informed of any changes as well.

Commitment Matters: It is crucial to be dedicated to your team. A significant amount of effort has been invested in trials and team selections, and not showing up or withdrawing at the last minute can let your teammates and coaches down. Please communicate any absences or illness as soon as possible to assist coaches in their planning.

If you no longer wish to participate in GSV this term, please email gilcril@mcl.vic.edu.au so that you can be removed from the team lists and make your coach aware.

All age groups are training together (JS/MS/SS) at Hawthorn Hockey with a drop off point at Robinson Rd, we will be using both pitches from this week. If you have a stick or shin pads, please bring them to training, and don’t forget your mouthguards!
