Meetings

Ballina Hockey club meetings are held monthly at the Ballina turf club house, everyone welcome.

Coaching

We are always looking for new coaches at all levels from minkey through to our senior teams. If you are keen to coach or be involved as an assistant coach, please contact our Club President.

Umpiring

If you umpire, or would like to learn or develop your skills, we can assist you. Umpires are required from U9s through to A-grade so we will be able to help you gain accreditation and improve your umpiring skills at a level that is most appropriate for you.

Volunteering

Our club relies on volunteers in many areas – club admin, turf management, canteen, coaching, umpiring, cooking the BBQ, organising events…. and the list goes on. Many hands make light work and any time you can give would be greatly appreciated.
