Wollongong ready to host national indoor festival

Published Thu 19 Dec 2019

All is in readiness for the biggest indoor tournament on the Hockey Australia calendar year.

Wollongong will be a hive of excitement and activity with over 700 players plus coaches, support staff, officials, families and friends from across Australia descending on the New South Wales city for the Australian Indoor Hockey Festival 2020.

Commencing on 4 January, the Illawarra Hockey Centre will play host to 23 days of quality indoor hockey spread across five age groups – Open, U21, U18, U15 and U13.

The Open Division will commence proceedings, followed by the Under 21s, Under 18s, Under 13s and winding up with the Under 15 competition.

“We wish all of the teams the best for the matches and hope it is a competition that is played with a great level of competitive spirit but most of all with a great level of enjoyment,” said Hockey Australia CEO, Matt Favier.

“Importantly, I want to acknowledge and thank the numerous volunteers for offering their time, skills and energy as without them this festival would not be possible.”

“Hockey Australia also wishes to express its thanks and gratitude to Destination NSW, Destination Wollongong and all of the tournament’s corporate partners for their support.”

Spectator entry to the festival is FREE.

Furthermore, every match of the Open competition will be streamed LIVE on the Hockey Australia YouTube channel.
