UPCOMING EVENTS

International Trip and Events.

 

We are delighted to announce that the Scotland Under16 Players have put together a squad for the trip to Detroit

 

12 Players and 2 Netminders will be travelling to, and taking part in the

AAU Junior Olympics Games in July 2007.

 

The hard work is not yet done. We, the Steering Group would ask all members of FSHA to support these Coaches, Managers and Players in every way possible. This is a wonderful achievement for FSHA to reach this level of hockey.

 

As promised we will continue to search for a way forward for all other age groups.

 

I can say at this point that Gordon Alder GBHI Under 14 Manager has put forward a proposal for the Under 10 and Under 12 age Groups.

 

The proposal put to GBHI is that we hold and International Event in Sheffield during the Summer. GBHI have agreed that this is a viable option and will be looking into it.

 

Invitations will hopefully include:

SCOTLAND

ENGLAND

N IRELAND

WALES

ENGLAND (BIPHA)

FRANCE

GERMANY

BELGIUM

HOLLAND

HONG KONG

 

This event would take place over a long weekend. This minimises impact on families finance and holiday commitments for 2007.

 

It is early days, but we do believe that this will encourage the younger players that currently play hockey and hopefully send out the right signals to potential new players.

 

The Steering Group will continue to look at options as and when they become available for the Under 14 and Under 18 age Groups.

INTERNATIONAL TRIP

 

      Our aim is to take all age groups into an International Competition.

      Our objective is to keep costs as low as is possible.

      We, the Steering Group are meeting regular, working to a timeline.

      The feedback from Academy training is extremely encouraging.

      We are waiting for the International Organisations to release dates and venues.

      We are poised, ready to go forward on release of this information.

      Fundraising activities are being programmed into the calendar

 

 

 

Please keep watching this page within FSHA and as soon as we have any more information and commitment we will pass it you.

One of the key things in making this happen is clear and concise communication.
