A hockey head start — don’t wait until Grade 1
Our preschool programme introduces the fundamentals of hockey through structured, professional coaching that still feels like play. Sessions run once a week at various schools across Gauteng, for approximately one hour, and HSA provides all the age-appropriate equipment — parents never need to buy or bring a thing.
Why hockey for preschoolers?
Hockey develops the whole child — body, brain and bravery.
Confidence that lasts
Early success in sport builds self-belief that follows children into the classroom.
Teamwork & listening
Sharing, taking turns and following instructions in a happy group setting.
Safe and non-contact
Regular hockey balls, mini sticks and close supervision in a safe, controlled environment.
A real head start
Don’t wait until Grade 1 — the basics learned now last a lifetime.
Individual attention
Small groups so every child gets seen, coached and encouraged.
No extra driving
Sessions happen at your child’s own school, once a week for about an hour.
