With the number of registrations already received and the new turf becoming operational, Parkes junior hockey is very excited for the great year ahead. 

This week sees the commencement of all grades with A grade starting tomorrow night. 

Please be aware that all players must have paid their NSW Hockey fees before being able to take the field. 

Parents should have their child’s receipt number available for confirmation of payment.

It is not too late to register.
