The Small Sticks Hockey programme encapsulates the Fun Sticks (Years 1 – 2), Mini Sticks (Years 3 -4), Kiwi Sticks (Years 5 – 6) and the Kwik Sticks (Year 7 – 8) hockey competitions. The aim of this programme is to provide greater focus on skill sets across the Small Sticks age groups, so as to prepare young players to better cope with the later competitive programmes associated with Secondary School, Senior and representative Hockey.
