Harbour City Hockey Club is one of the largest hockey clubs in Wellington with both senior and junior sections.
Our Junior Committee is dedicated to ensuring all our kids learn solid hockey skills, have equal time and opportunity on the field, learn team skills and have fun!
We put a lot of effort into recruiting good coaches who know how to motivate kids and get them to work as a team. Our 6-aside teams are coached by skilled, motivated parents, or young up-and-coming hockey players – most of whom are in Wellington representative teams. Our 11-aside teams are coached by highly skilled current hockey players that have years of coaching experience.
Hockey is a great sport for kids, so contact us and get involved!
