ONE CLUB – TWO GROUNDS

Our new second hockey ground at Elwood College is complete!

JUNE UPDATES

Note we have just got access so there are a few finishing touches to come as well as some equipment upgrades – hold tight

Note there is no car park access until a further school gate is installed (by July)

We are not moving!

We are enhancing our experiences and providing NEW opportunities for people aged 4 to 70+ to be active in sport.

We will maintain a strong presence at Melbourne High School and in South Yarra as our #1 ground across all competitions.

Our social facilities will remain at MHS.
