URGENT - WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THESE PROPOSALS FOR SEASON 2009?

 

2009 brings in a new era of Hockey administration and clubs have been asked for their thoughts on possible changes.  The main points are outlined below – if you have any strong opinions either way please let Brendan (brendan@bmoorefinancial.com.au) (or phone 0418 121 862 ) know by Monday 27^th October so that NWG can present a club view rather than the view of individuals

 

1. Refine under-age groupings to have more even competitions (so no extreme scores)
2. Play 1^st & 1^st Reserve Grade games on Friday nights (would mean one sixth of games for each team on Friday rather than Saturday) Indicate if you would prefer a Friday club double header of Men & Women or 1^st Grade & 1^st Reserves.

(As a result of point 2, fewer under-age games would be played on Friday night – would be played on Sunday – U13 boys would most likely be the group affected by this)

3. Move U11 boys from late Saturday to Sunday mornings thereby allowing both Men’s & Women’s 4^th Grade to have regular Saturday time slots rather than be moved around.
4. Move all school Div 1 to Fridays and start the top under-age rosters earlier on Mondays thereby allowing Women’s 3^rd Grade to keep playing on Mondays.
5.  For 1^st (and maybe 1^st Reserve) Grades, have three rounds only with breaks for a state-wide competition of some sort.
6. For 1^st and 1^st Reserve Grades reduce training to three sessions every two weeks rather than four sessions thereby freeing up Tuesday turf time for a midweek roster.

 

Please feel free to make any other suggestions you feel may be worthy of consideration.
