Playing for Northern United Junior Hockey Club


Northern United Junior Hockey Club facilitates hockey opportunities for boys and girls from school year 1 (age 5) through to school year 8 (age 12). Children play in different groups as per their school years. We organize teams for children in school years 3-8. Hockey opportunities for children in years 2 and 3 are provided directly by Wellington Hockey Association (WHA).


Mini Sticks (six-a-side for School Year 3 and year 6)

We put together winter hockey teams for this age group.

Boys and girls aged between 7 and 10 years old (Year 3 to Year 6) play 6-a-side Mini Sticks Hockey. Children are formed into mixed-gender teams of 8-9 players (6 on the field plus subs). The club tries to place children with others of the same level of experience. A key selection criterion is putting children in teams with friends/people they know.


Games are played on half sized turfs at various venues around Wellington. A lot of the games in this grade are held at our club turf in Newlands and at Raroa Intermediate School. The games are held on Saturday mornings between 8:30 am and 1:00 pm. Each game has two halves of 20 mins each and lasts about 45 mins all up.


Kwik Sticks (11 a-side for Years 7&8)


For children aged between 11 – 13 years old (Years 7 & 8).  Game format has changed from the previous years in year 2020. We will publish the details once we have some clarity of the same along with the rule book.


A Coach/Manager is allocated for each team. The Coach advises the day and time of the mid week practice session.
