Willoughby Girls High School P&C Hockey plays both indoor and outdoor hockey. Teams are entered in outdoor competitions for Terms 2 & 3 and indoor competitions in Terms 1 & 4. Girls can play in either or both. The aim of the club is to encourage girls to play team sport for fun and exercise. We welcome new and experienced players alike with older players mentoring younger ones. Many of our players are often playing for the first time so teams are mixed ability and all years play together in the same team enabling them to build relationships across years. We also socialise together with end of season get togethers. Year 7 girls can commence with indoor hockey in Term 1 or outdoor in Term 2.
WGHS plays in the Sydney Indoor Hockey Association's Northern Schools competition. Two seperate competitions are played in the first and fourth terms of each year. Games are held on Wednesday afternoons/evenings in Term 4 and Fridays in Term 1. Games are played at Mosman, Ryde or Edgecliff and car-pooling is encourages to facilitate transport.
Training: Weekly training is held. (timing is coach dependant)

Field hockey: Approx $235.00 per player which covers both terms - includes ground hire, registration, insurance, club equipment and coaching.
