Hockey Victoria Executive Report

A $64.6-million commitment to the re development of the State Netball Hockey Centre (SNHC) including a dedicated Indoor Hockey Stadium kicked off a busy, challenging and exciting year for Hockey Victoria in 2018.

After years of lobbying and advocating for the need to refresh the SNHC and a push for the a dedicated and quality indoor hockey facility, HV and our close neighbours Netball Victoria were successful in having $64.6 million allocated to a major re-development of the SNHC.

This Victorian Government announcement was made shortly after Melbourne and HV secured Rounds 1 & 2 of the Inaugural 2019 FIH Pro League matches against world hockey powerhouses The Netherlands & Belgium.

These two exciting announcements, coupled with the pending changes to the Australian Hockey League, set HV the new challenge of fan engagement, match day entertainment and building momentum towards the launch of the 2019 FIH Pro League and the new AHL.

In April 2018, the decision was made by Hockey Australia to launch the new AHL in 2019 with the current format being introduced as a hybrid Home & Away League in 2018, with the Vikings & Vipers set to host two home matches at the SNHC as part of the hybrid. This news marked two significant moments: the last time the Victorian mens and womens State Teams would play as the Vikings and the Vipers, and the birth of the Victorian Hockey Fan Package. The package was strongly supported by 28 Affiliates and an additional 300 individuals totalling 1,396 Fan Package holders. This 7-game membership entitled Hockey fans to attend both of 2018’s AHL home matches and provides access to the 2019 FIH Pro League and new AHL Home Matches in 2019.

With the changes imminent it prompted a fantastic opportunity to celebrate both the Vikings and Vipers history. We hosted two functions as part of the 2018 home matches with past players, coaches and administrators of the teams, announcing the Victorian Vikings & Vipers All-Star Teams. It was a great opportunity to share an insight into the future whilst also taking time to celebrate the past.

On the pitch in 2018 there were a range of highlights including a first ever Premier League Premiership for Southern United Hockey Club in the Men’s Competition. After 20 years of hard work it was a scene to behold in front of the Eastern

Grandstand as hundreds of Southern United faithful witnessed an historic come from behind win in the final against Camberwell Hockey Club.

Caroline Springs Hockey Club Women ’s team won their inaugural Vic League Premiership in Women’s Vic League 2 and the Hawthorn Hockey Club juggernaut and dynasty continued with another Premiership to add to the list in Premier League Women’s.

The Victorian State teams performed strongly but lacked a little bit of luck in some cases. In the 2018 AHL Finals the Vipers performed strongly losing in the semi-final to the eventual champions New South Wales Arrows and for the Vikings a dramatic 6-5 loss to the Queensland Blades (who were also the champions) in the Quarter final was a bitter pill to swallow after winning the 2017 AHL in both the Men’s & Women’s competition. Across the other teams, we were the Australian Under 18 Champions in the boy’s, silver medallists in the Under 21 Men’s, and had strong top 4 performances in the Under 18 Girl’s & Under 21 Women’s Championships.

Our two AHL home matches in October 2018 were well attended with a crowd of 1,100 visiting the Western Australian match and 1,400 attend at the South Australian match. On behalf of the Board and the Management, we would like to again thank the community for getting behind the Victorian teams and celebrating the Vikings & Vipers era.

Off the pitch we continue to work hard with our Affiliates to grow the game in a number of ways. 2,000 Hookin2Hockey participants in Victoria, over 80 schools engaged in the Sporting Schools program and a record 16 teams in our All Abilities State Finals are just a few examples of our continued success at bringing new players and exposing new participants to our game.

Our challenge like so many organised sports is retention so in response HV launched J-Ball in February 2018 with mixed success around the state. Our most successful competition was held in Footscray with 8 teams of J-Ballers playing in Term 2 competition. Ballarat also hosted a J-Ball competition in Terms 1 & 2. Of these J-Ball participants, there was over 50% who had never picked up a stick. In addition to modified competition, we also commenced a project throughout Gippsland taking J-Ball to retirement villages and delivering Walking J-Ball. We will continue to look at ways and means to deliver hockey alternatives to meet the shifting sporting needs of the wider community. Hockey Sixers was played in a range of suburbs of Melbourne as well, bringing back a range of players who had excited the sport in recent years.

5Executive Report |

Indoor hockey continued to grow with increased access to MSAC for the purposes of Indoor Competition and player development programs. In 2018 our Indoor team entry numbers increased by over 10% on previous years including 33 teams entering into Term 1 Indoor Competition for the first time. In Term 3 we introduced an Under 13 & 15 Indoor Development Program which in 2019 will fully integrate with state team selection and an Under 18 program introduced.

For the traditional game our participation numbers remained consistent in 2018 (22,000). Whilst the numbers are largely consistent, our ongoing challenge is the 20% annual churn in participation. That means over 4,000 participants in 2017 did not play in 2018, but it also means that we attracted a new 4,000 participants to hockey. Whilst research tells us the reasons for opting out of the game are broad it is a friendly reminder that we must have our eyes wide open to adapt and provide flexible models for engagement, competition structure and payment into the future.

In 2018 Victoria had a significant number of Umpires officiating at National Championships. A standout was Ben Hocking being appointed to the Gold Medal AHL Match between Queensland & New South Wales. The number of umpires is increasing through the range of programs we are delivering and more talented umpires are developing in readiness for Premier League appointments into the future. In 2018 we conducted a coaching symposium which attracted over 50 coaches within Victoria to attend and develop in March.

We further invested and developed our organisation’s ambition to pursue 50/50 gender split in hockey participation across all facets of the game as part of the Victorian Government’s Change Our Game Program. As part of this program, Hockey Victoria was one of the inaugural State Sporting Associations in Victoria to take the pledge to improve female participation and leadership in the game. We will develop a clear strategy and performance measures in relation to female participation and leadership. Hockey Victoria plan to release this plan in the first half of 2019.

In January 2018 we welcomed Haval Motors as our naming rights partner to the Victorian Junior State Championships and our presenting partner to social hockey in Werribee, the Surf Coast, Geelong and Ballarat. In return Haval Motors provided two FWD’s which have supported the range of regional travel conducted by the staff in 2018.

One of the regular locations the Haval vehicles visited was the Gippsland region which was also where the development of the consolidation of the South East Cougars Zone and the Gippsland Bulls commenced, creating the one representative team and pathway entity for Gippsland.

As part of the changes the HV High Performance team commenced the Gippsland Player Development Program across Drouin, Churchill and Sale, attracting over 70 players from across the region. In addition, the Gippsland Bulls name was consolidated and used as the name of the Regional Representative Team of the South East Country Region as part of the 2018 Haval Junior State Championships.

In 2019 the plan is to complete a similar consolidation process in the North West Country Region and implement a Regional Player Development Program across Mildura, North Central, Dimboola and Bendigo in late 2019.

The streamlining of the player pathway process and governance is step one in what Management believe will be a broader Governance & Competition reform in regional Victoria. Ensuring we develop efficient and progressive governance of the game and thriving competition across Regional Victoria.

We would both like to show our appreciation for our dedicated and loyal Sponsors & Partners - the Victorian State Government, VicHealth, Haval Motors, Game Clothing, Just Hockey, Bradford Capital, Man Lift Hire and Kukri Sports. We would also like to extend our thankyou to the Surf Coast Shire Council, Wyndham City Council, Ballarat City Council and the Latrobe Valley Authority for their support for the launch of J-Ball within their communities in 2018.

To the loyal and committed team of Staff at HV we thank each of them for their ongoing commitment to see all aspects of the game improve & to the HV Board for their ongoing support for innovation and progression in our game.

In 2018 we said our goodbyes to longstanding HV staff members Mary Lofthouse, Andrea Tacono and Lauren Camilleri. We thank all three women for their outstanding contribution to Hockey Victoria over a significant period of time. Mary, Andrea and Lauren were instrumental in the development of the organisation’s professional conduct over the past decade.

Finally, to the 150 Hockey clubs in Victoria we thank you for your ongoing hard work and dedication to the sport and we look forward to enjoying the FIH Pro League, the new AHL and to fostering participation at all levels of competition in 2019.

Hockey Operations Report

Officiating Development

On the back of HVOC relaunch in 2017, officiating continued to thrive in 2018. A structured approach to course delivery and greater focus on timely marketing yielded great returns with 11% increase in umpire accreditations and 24% increase in TO accreditations.

The new Officiating Ranking system was launched at the beginning of the 2018 Winter Season, and has provided greater clarity to all parties in relation to where officials sit in the state and national system.

2018 also saw 37 Victorian umpires (21 male and 16 female) and 21 officials (12 female and 9 male) travel to National Championships.

HV’s events continued to be utilised for officials’ development and accreditations, with a number of final sign-offs achieved at JSC, JCC and SCC for both umpires and TOs.

Traditional Competitions

Competitions team continued to deliver and manage the Winter and Summer Competitions, including the Tribunal & Discipline related matters. As always, it was challenging to juggle all individual requests and preferences from close to 60 affiliates (with multiple teams across Senior, Junior and Masters grades), but the team predominantly managed to provide a satisfactory season to all affiliates.

The Premier League Live Stream again provided an opportunity for hockey enthusiasts to follow their favourite players throughout the season, with the cumulative audience reach for all PL rounds and the finals series of just under 240,000.

The standalone Vic League Grand Finals Day also proved to be successful in 2018, providing a platform for our VL affiliates to shine on their own stage. The VL Grand Finals Live Stream attracted audience reach of 5,800 in a single day.

2018 also saw La Trobe University engaged to conduct a Competitions Review, which will serve as a driver for Hockey Victoria’s consultation with the affiliates in 2019. The end result of the consultation is intended to be a series of recommended changes to improve the delivery and structure of competitions from 2020.

Social Hockey

Social Hockey continued to be at the forefront of HV’s activities in 2018 with the employment of a dedicated staff member to look after the social hockey marketing and operations. As the marketing got more structured and sophisticated, so did the social hockey results, in particular J-Ball and Hockey Sixers. J-Ball marketing was aimed at attracting brand new participants while Hockey Sixers targeted lapsed players.

These two formats were played across 6 venues, including regional venues, with 60 teams taking part in the activities.

In 2018, HV received two new grants to expand on our social hockey offering. More specifically, VicHealth have funded HV for the next three years to deliver J-Ball to teenagers, while Latrobe Valley Authority have provided funding for Walking J-Ball, a format for 60+ demographic in Gippsland.

The key issues in 2018 continued to be access to hockey facilities and our capacity to meet the increasing demand from the affiliates.

The new officiating ranking system was launched at the beginning of 2018 Winter Season, and has provided greater clarity to all parties in relation to where officials sit in the state and national system.


Junior Country Championships

The 2018 Junior Country Championships saw 6 more teams competing in the event than in 2017, totalling 52 boys’ and girls’ Regional Association representative teams. The event was held on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 May at the State Netball Hockey Centre, Greensborough and Essendon Hockey Centre. Aside from player development, the event also served as a development platform for up and coming regional coaches and officials.

Champions of the divisions were as below:

U13 Boys: Glenelg Hockey Association U13 Girls: West Gippsland Hockey Association U15 Boys: Hockey Albury Wodonga U15 Girls: Goulburn Valley Hockey Association U17 Boys: Hockey Albury Wodonga U17 Girls: North Central Hockey Association

HAVAL Junior State Championships

The 2018 HAVAL Junior State Championships was held at the State Netball Hockey Centre and Footscray Hockey Centre, from Tuesday 3 July to Friday 6 July. It was the first time that the finals were livestreamed from the State Netball Hockey Centre with the total audiences reach of just under 40,000.

As in 2017, 57 teams competed in the 2018 event, representing the 10 State Zones in the 6 age divisions for boys and girls.

Together with the pool of Team Officials, Technical Officials, Umpire Panels, Umpire Managers and Coaches, there were just under 1000 participants in the event!

The Championships saw amazing hockey played throughout the four days of competitions and resulted in the below teams being crowned Championships of their division:

U13 Boys: Eastern Hotshots U13 Girls: Central Flames U15 Boys: Western Wildcats U15 Girls: Western Wildcats U17 Boys: Central Flames U17 Girls: North West Metro Tigers


Hockey Operations Report

Senior Country Championships

2018 Senior Country Championship was held over the Queen’s Birthday Long Weekend at Stead Park in Geelong and the Hawthorn Malvern Hockey Centre.

Women’s Senior Country Championship saw 19 Women’s teams battle it out in five divisions over the three days in Geelong, while 17 Men’s teams took to the field at HMHC.

Below are the Division Premiers:

Women’s A1: Hockey Albury Wodonga Women’s A2: Ballarat HA Women’s B1: Peninsula Lynx Women’s B2: Latrobe Valley HA Women’s Masters: Ballarat

Men’s Division 1: Ballarat HA Men’s Division 2: East Gippsland HA Men’s Masters: Hockey Albury Wodonga

Indoor Hockey

It would be safe to say that 2018 presented a turning point for Indoor Hockey in Victoria. For the first time ever, Indoor Hockey was delivered over the course of the whole year – competitions in the first and last quarter of the year and development programs in the middle two quarters. Adding to this, the SNHC Redevelopment announcement by the State Government in April 2018 which will include a dedicated Indoor Hockey court, it is easy to see why 2018 was such an important year for Indoor Hockey in Victoria.

The growth in Indoor Hockey Competition team entries continued to grow from 2017, with 33 teams participating in the Term 1 Competition while 134 teams participated in Term 4 of 2018 representing a whopping growth of 29 teams compared to 2017.

A similar trend was evident across the Junior Club Championships. There was an increase of 9 teams compared to 2017, with 59 teams in total taking part in the three age groups (boys and girls). Note the Senior Club Championships will be played in early 2019.

The winners of each junior division were as below:

Under 18 Boys: Waverley Under 18 Girls: Southern United Under 15 Boys: TEM Under 15 Girls: TEM Under 13 Boys: Waverley Under 13 Girls: MCC

2018 was also the first year that HV designed and delivered Indoor Development programs, under the guidance of Australian Men’s Indoor Coach - Steve Willer, with just under 300 participants in the U13-U18 age groups.


Facilities

2018 was a very active year in the hockey community in terms of facility planning and development across the whole Victorian network. On the back of increased engagement by HV with the State and local governments, in association with the affiliates, there have been numerous facility related projects throughout the year, with some of the key achievements as follows:

• $64.6 million State Government investment in the SNHC Re-development (projected completion early 2021).

• New synthetic hockey pitch and clubrooms in Sale.

• New clubrooms in Churchill, Elgar Park, Camberwell and plans for new clubrooms in Bendigo and Footscray.

• Pitch replacements completed at:

- Melbourne High School

- Albert Park

- Hawthorn Malvern Hockey Centre (pitch 1)

- Bendigo (pitch 2)

- Brunswick

- Wodonga

- Doncaster

- Essendon (pitch 1)

• Facility feasibility studies for G21 region (Geelong and the surrounding LGA’s) and Melbourne Outer East.

There were also a number of other projects that will assist in growing hockey’s capacity to deliver the sport across more locations. Further, there has been an increased level of advocacy for inclusion of social hockey equipment in budgets for all new pitch developments which would see any new venue ready for social hockey from the start.

Regional Hockey

Following release of the Regional Participation Growth Plan 2017-2020 and formation of the Regional Hockey Steering Group in 2017, there has been plenty of activity across regional Victoria.

One of the key outcomes in 2018 was the alignment of the junior and senior pathways in the Gippsland Region. The zone was renamed to Gippsland Bulls (previously South East Cougars) with close links established with the Gippsland Bulls Hockey Club via the Gippsland Regional Development Program.

Hockey Victoria office was regularly engaged to assist the Regional Associations with facility related matters, governance, disciplinary investigations and other internal Association matters.

Social Hockey was expanded to regional Victoria with programs delivered in Ballarat, Geelong and Torquay.

Recruitment and Retention

HV continued to support clubs through its ongoing role in organising Roadshow clinics in schools in Term 1, 2, 3, and 4 as a way to recruit young children into the sport. A total of 47, 872 students were visited across 330 schools.

62 Hookin2Hockey centres were operating in 2018, with a record number of programs offered in Term 2, 3, and 4. A total of 2002 players participated in Hookin2Hockey in 2018, which is roughly half of the total in Australia. Community Hockey staff members visited clubs during Hookin2Hockey sessions and provided valuable feedback to coaches and club personnel.

In Term 3 and 4 Hockey Victoria trialled some digital marketing via Facebook to assist clubs in attracting new members to the sport.

2018 saw more clubs utilise the national “Stick2Hockey” program as a next step towards a local competition hockey

Sporting Schools

During 2018 Hockey Victoria has once again been involved with the Sporting Schools program delivering just over 1,000 hockey sessions across Victoria. Our workforce of casual coaches has visited 80 schools providing introductory coaching sessions to around 10,000 primary aged students giving them a fun and engaging first taste of Hockey. Sporting School’s is a government funded program with each school receiving a grant to be used on coaching sessions and sporting equipment. In 2018 the program has brought Hockey Victoria over $85,000 in revenue from the schools with approximately $40,000 of that being used to pay our casual coaches. A number of schools have also purchased Hockey Equipment with their funding making the sport more sustainable and accessible for those schools.

These sessions have also given Hockey Victoria the chance to train up and assess a new group of young casual coaches and help them to develop their coaching skills, methods and delivery whilst also building their confidence people skills. This is helping us to create a workforce that is capable of delivering the new era of coaching, creating dynamic, fun and exciting sessions for the children whilst also teaching them the fundamentals of the sport.

2018 SUMMARY


Access for All Abilities

Hockey Victoria (HV) has continued to work closely with the South-East Special Schools Sports Association (SSSSA) and Northern Special Schools Sports Association (NSSSA) in 2018. The Access All Abilities (AAA) Hockey program has seen significant growth in participation across the state, with 122 students participating in the NSSSA 4-week competition out at Footscray Hockey Centre during term 2. In addition to this, SSSSA continued to run their two interschool hockey competitions at Knox Regional Football Centre in terms 2 and 3. Eleven teams were entered across A and B Divisions in term 2 and 5 teams entered into the development Division in term 3.

In June, HV joined forces with the Victorian Police to provide an educational and positive experience for the SSSSA children. The day was filled with fun modified hockey, and interactive stations which included access to the Highway Patrol vehicles and the Mounted Branch horses. The Victoria Police Hockey Team umpired the SSSSA hockey match and played a showcase match against Hockey Victoria’s 2017 AA Aces State teams.

Hockey Victoria held the second annual State Specialist School Competition at the State Netball Hockey Centre in September. HV was excited to see the competition grow in 2018, from 5 schools, 2 divisions (A & B Grade mixed) and 9 teams to 9 schools across three divisions (A Grade Girls, A Grade Mixed and B Grade Mixed) and 16 teams. For the first time HV saw a Regional school entered into the competition, Sale Specialist School. The standard of hockey on display was a testament to the hard work of Hockey Victoria staff, coaches and Specialist School teachers who over the past four years have introduced hockey to the students. This event was also live streamed for the first time.

To finish the day HV selected three, 18 and Under AA Aces State teams (Men, Women and Vic Country). It is hoped in the future that other states will get on board so our AA Aces have interstate competition.

Women & Girls

HV continued to focus on increasing participation for females and providing opportunities for them to lead and develop in a number of environments.

These opportunities included:

• Professional development facilitated by Dr Julia Walsh for clubs on how to attract and retain females;

• Women’s Level 1 umpire course

• Setting female coaching targets (40%) for the Junior State Championships. This was achieved.

• Successfully Implementing the first season of U12 Girls Shield and U12 Boys Shield. This is part of the newly developed female player pathway.

• Two U10 and U12 Girls VIPERS clinics in the West and South-east. This gave young girls the opportunity to learn new skills in a safe environment with their sporting heroes.

• The VIPERS function held as part at the Australian Hockey League Game played in Melbourne. The function enabled over 70 past players, coaches and current female club administrators to network and reunite their passion to get back involved in the sport.

• The HV Women & Girls breakfast where over 285 guests attended the event that was hosted by Sue Gaudian and had Richmond Football Club President and Chair of the Change Our Game Champions of Change Committee – Peggy O’Neal as Guest Speaker.

• Encouraged and supported a new female club president’s application to attend the Women in Sport Leadership conference in 2019. Her application was successful.

Hockey Victoria was invited to be part of the State Governments Change Our Game -Champions of Change Ambassador program. Hockey was one of eight Victorian Sport and Recreation bodies invited to be involved in the inaugural group that was charged with developing a Game plan for increasing gender equity within sport. HV started its “Game Plan” by mandating a 40% representation on the HV Board within its constitution. This was ratified by the members at the AGM in March. HV has continued to review its governance structure with a gender equity lens and has conducted a skills and gender audit of the board and its subcommittees. As a result, changes to HV subcommittees will commence in 2019.

As part of HV’s commitment to gender equity, all Board and staff have been involved in unconscious bias training. HV has also developed a Gender Equality Policy and is developing a Gender Equity Strategy. As part of the strategy a number of key targets have been set across the whole organisation. An internal working group has been established to implement the strategy and achieve targets. The key areas that we will focus on include: Leadership, Profile, Governance and Participation. HV received additional funding through the Office for Women in Sport and Recreation to support the implementation of the strategy with a key focus on workforce development.

To improve gender equity within hockey, HV needed to engage clubs. HV invited five clubs to become Change Our Game Club Ambassadors. These clubs include Southern United, Bayside, Essendon, Mentone and Waverley. All clubs attended unconscious bias training at the first meeting. The program will kick off in 2019 will also clubs agreeing to implement strategies to grow female participation and look at ways to provide more leadership opportunities for women and increase their profile within their own clubs.

Regionally, HV has continued to encourage clubs and associations to offer U10 Girls competitions. Geelong and Hockey Albury Wodonga ran Girls programs in 2018. Geelong in conjunction with Hockey Victoria ran a Girls Just Wanna Have Fun day which was used to recruit young girls for its U10 Girls competition. In 2019 Shepparton have committed to starting a Girls only pathway.

Community Hockey Report


Club Development

HV supported the growth of hockey within the Hume region by chairing the Hockey in Hume committee and working with the three local clubs and the Hume City Council. The purpose of the committee was to re-focus the clubs in the area and develop a recruitment plan.

HV has provided support to Casey Hockey Club in the form of coach education, service and program delivery. This has resulted in 8 community level coaches who are now experienced in delivering Hookin2Hockey programs. It has also resulted in greater retention of juniors.

HV supported GVHA by providing support to them through a Hookin2Hockey induction program and providing advice on how to recruit young girls to the game.

The vision is for an U12 girl’s competition to be running in the Shepparton region in 2019.

HV worked in partnership with SRV to provide clubs with the opportunity to attend Member Protection Information Officer training.

Hockey Education

A total of 18 workshops relating to the National Coaching and Officiating Accreditations were conducted in 2018. Seven Level 1 Coaching workshops with 86 participants, five Level 1 Umpiring workshops with 85 participants, three Level 1 TO courses with 22 participants, a Level 2 Umpire workshop with 8 participants, a Level 2 Coach workshop with 6 participants and a Level 1 UmpireCoach with 7 participants.

Hockey Victoria events were utilised to conduct assessment for coaches, umpires and technical officials.

The inaugural coach’s symposium was held at the SNHC to build knowledge and capacity across the club network. A total of 45 participants attended the weekend.

Umpiring and Coaching Coordinators forums were held in Term 4 to enable networking and sharing of ideas between affiliates.

Community coaching workshops were conducted at 6 university campuses with 400 students across physical education, sport and exercise science degrees learning basic hockey skills and how to teach then in a safe and fun environment. 2018 also saw the return of Hockey Victoria to presenting at the annual ACHPER conference.

High Performance Report

AHL Teams

2018 saw a hybrid Australian Hockey League take place whilst planning for the new league was in its infant stages of development. As such it will go down in the record books as the last ever Australian Hockey League. The introduction of 3 home and away rounds followed by a week of finals hockey on the Gold Coast was a welcome change. Victoria turned up to watch its best and brightest talent play in on home soil in Melbourne for the first time in years.

Hockey Australia introduced a Quarter Final this year, which was always going to be a big game for both the Vikings and Vipers. The Vikings lost an arm wrestle vs old nemesis Queensland meaning the best they could then do was 5th. The Vipers dominated Tasmania 6-0 to set up a semi-final chance eventually going down 4-3 to a strong NSW outfit. The Vipers went on to lose the Bronze medal off in a gripping shootout.

Emerging Vikings & Vipers

The 2018 Emerging program was again a very successful with all athletes representing the state at an Under 18 or Under 21 level.

The aim of this program is to provide the selected athletes with a high quality weekly training environment that best replicates the rigours of tournament campaign. The planning is undertaken to develop and scaffold their skills required for the variety of national and international competitions our athletes are exposed to. These sessions are combined with both the Men’s and Women’s VIS programs.

VIS Coaches Jay Stacy, Stacia Strain and Phil Burrows provided valuable insight into this program to keep things in order with National Programming initiatives.

Academy / Pathway Development Programs

In 2018 the high-performance department worked with just over 550 athletes in a variety of pathway programming initiatives including, Draft Camp, Elite Skill Development Days, Academy and Emerging programs. The HV Academy has been integral in helping us identify the best talent and planning a track for them to develop their game on and off pitch.

In 2018 we launched the Gippsland Bulls Regional development program that has since targeted over 60 athletes in the Gippsland region with athlete and coach development being facilitated out of the High-Performance office.

The High-Performance coaching staff did an amazing job this year with the operation and professionalism of all of our programming.

Now in the 5th year of the centralised academy model we are continuing to see the reward with National Championship successes.

National Championships Success

The year kicked off with Indoor taking place over the month of January in Goulburn, NSW. We had teams in all age brackets except for the Open Men’s and Open Women’s. Our best results were the Under 18 Boys winning the Gold Medal after being so close for the years prior and the Under 21 Women’s and Under 15 Boys teams losing the Gold Medal playoffs, bringing home the silver medals.

The 2018 Outdoor National championships were a little leaner in Silverware than we would have hoped at the beginning of the year with only the Under 18 Men’s Team winning the elusive Gold Medal. We were silver medallists in the Men’s Under 21’s, Girls Under 13 and Under 15’s

The success at theses junior level is an indicator of the work the Parents/Athletes / Support staff and Academy coaches are devoting to the pathway and associated programming.

2019 is shaping up to be a very big year off the back of some hard work in 2018.

National Representation (including indoor)

2018 saw the international debuts of Sophie Taylor, Hayley Padget, Johan Durst and Josh Simmonds for their respective national teams.

Each of these athletes has had many a setback through their careers to date, injury or continued de-selection, we are incredibly proud of the perseverance and dedication shown for these players to reach their goal of playing for the Hockeyroos and Kookaburras.

Victoria had 4 athletes selected in the 2018 Women’s World Cup, Krissy Bates, Lily Brazel, Emily Hurtz and Rachel Lynch

The National Development squads named recently included 3 Victorians, Jayshaan Randhawa, Kiran Arunasalam and Max Hendry.

The National Junior selection panels rewarded 8 of our aspiring young superstars with National Junior Squad selection in 2018 4 male and 4 female athletes, Jonothan Bretherton, Nathan Ephraums, Daniel McBride, Damon Sterffens, Rachel Guy, Olivia Colasurdo, Amy Lawton and Aisling Utri.

Feature Athlete – Aaron Kleinschmidt

After playing an important role in the drought-breaking Victoria Vikings win of the Australian Hockey League (AHL) tournament in 2016, Aaron earned selection in the Australian team.

Aaron made his debut in November 2016 in the Trans-Tasman tournament against New Zealand where he scored in his debut match. He also represented the Kookaburras in front of his home crowd in Melbourne during the International Festival of Hockey.

As a result of his performances for the national team, Aaron was selected in the Men’s National Senior Squad and relocated to Perth in early 2017, giving up his full time job as an electrician in order to focus on hockey full time.

Aaron has enjoyed a successful start to his international career being a part of the Kookaburras team that has won the World League Final, Champions Trophy and the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast. In his 61 appearances to date, he has scored 23 goals.

Aaron is looking towards the World Cup in India later this year and is excited by the new Pro League competition, beginning in 2019, in which top countries play against each other in a home and away tournament. His main goal is to make his Olympic debut in 2020 and help the Kookaburras win a gold medal, which would be their first since 2004.



VIS Women’s Report

Underpinning the National Women’s program in Perth, the VIS Women’s Hockey program is responsible for preparing and developing Victorian-based athletes for national and junior squad selection. The VIS is the daily training environment and provides world’s best hockey coaching, strength and conditioning, sport science, personal excellence, psychology and medical services along with exposure to high level competition opportunities.

Feature Athlete - Emily Hurtz

Born in Sydney, Emily Hurtz made her debut for the Hockeyroos against South Africa back in 2009 as a young nineteen year old. Over the next five years, she was part of the Hockeyroos team who won silver at the 2009 Champions Trophy, gold at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, silver at the 2013 World League Semi-Finals and silver at the 2014 World Cup. During this period she made 85 appearances for the Hokeyroos scoring 30 goals.

After the World Cup in 2014, Emily made the decision to retire from international competition as she felt that she had achieved everything she wanted and had become the best player that she possibly could. This allowed her to turn her focus to her studies and career as a nurse, which she is passionate about, whilst making the decision to relocate to Melbourne.

Emily continued to play high level competition in Victoria and after a standout performance at the Australian Hockey League (AHL) tournament with the Victoria Vipers, Emily once again made herself available for Hockeyroos selection, having turned down an initial offer shortly after the 2016 Olympics.

Emily made her return for the Hockeyroos in the International Festival of Hockey in Melbourne in November 2017 and was elevated into the Women’s National Senior Squad in 2018, however, she decided to remain in Melbourne to continue her career as a nurse, which Hockey Australia agreed to.

Emily was selected for the 2018 Commonwealth Games and helped the Hockeyroos secure a silver medal, before refocusing on a second World Cup in July in the United Kingdom.

Emily’s long term goal is to make her Olympic Games debut in 2020 before returning to nursing full time.

Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

As described below in note 1(b) the entity reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at each reporting date. No changes to the useful lives were determined during the current year.

The following specific accounting policies, which are consistent with the previous year unless otherwise stated, have been adopted in the preparation of this report:

(a) Income Tax

No liability for income tax has been recognised as the Association is exempt from income tax under Division 50 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.

(b) Non-current Assets

Each class of plant and equipment is recognised in the Statement of Financial Position at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all property, plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight line basis over the useful lives of the assets to the Association commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable asset are:

Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate

Office Furniture 28.6%

Electrical Equipment 28.6%

Hockey Equipment 28.6%

(c) Employee Benefits

Provision is made for the Association’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to reporting date. Employee benefits expected to be settled within one year, together with benefits arising from wages and salaries and annual leave which will be settled after one year, have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled plus related on costs. Other employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. Contributions are made by the Association to an employee superannuation fund nominated by an employee and are charged as expenses when incurred.

(d) Unearned Deferred Revenue

Unearned revenue is recognised as a liability in the Statement of Financial Position and will be recognised as revenue in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income when relevant services are delivered by the Association.

Notes to the Financial Statements


Financial Report |


NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

(e) Cash

For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash includes cash on hand and at bank.

(f) Held-to-maturity financial assets

If Hockey Victoria has the positive intent and ability to hold term deposits to maturity, then such financial assets are classified as held-to-maturity. Held-to-maturity financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, held-to-maturity financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Held to maturity financial assets comprise term deposits.

(g) Revenue

Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the clubs and individual members. Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

Revenue from grant income is recognised in accordance with AASB 1004: Contributions. Grant income is recognised when the Association gains control over the revenue and there is no unconditional obligation to repay the revenue.

Other revenue is recognised when the right to receive the revenue has been established.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

(h) Goods and Services Tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except:

i. where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or

ii. for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables.

Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis. The GST component of the cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified within operating cash flows.

(i) Inventory

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories comprise all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and any other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Costs are assigned on a first-in, first-out.

(j) Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other accounts payable are recognised when the Association becomes obliged to make future payments resulting from the purchase of goods and services.

(k) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Entity will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

Short-term and other long-term employee benefits

A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries and annual leave in the period the related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.



81

Liabilities recognised in respect of other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the Association in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.

Onerous contracts

Present obligations arising under onerous contracts are recognised and measured as provisions. An onerous contract is considered to exist where the Association has a contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it.

The onerous contract has arisen due to a contract to hold an event in February 2019.

(l) Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards

The Association has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to their operations and effective for an accounting period that begins on or after 1 January 2018.

• AASB 9 Financial Instruments and related amending Standards

The application of this amendment does not have any material impact on the disclosures or the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Hockey Victoria Inc. maintains various bank accounts and term deposits through the National Australia Bank (NAB). Shaun Dooley (Deputy Chairman) is an employee of the NAB. The bank accounts and deposits are provided by NAB on an arm’s length basis at rates available to the general public.

The Board of Hockey Victoria Inc. receive no remuneration for their services to the Association.

NOTE 20: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Capital risk strategy

Hockey Victoria receives State Government Funding and the Association is working to secure organic streams of revenue by retaining its existing members and attracting new participants to support the traditional sport.

The Association is fulfilling the goals of the strategic plan, hence has reasonable ground to be able to continue as going concern and maximising the benefits to the members.

Hockey Victoria has no debt and the financial assets consist of short term bank deposits that have minimal or no financial risk.

(a) Market risk

The Association’s exposure to market risk is low. All financial investments consist of short term bank deposits.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Association. Hockey Victoria trading terms with customers are 14 days. The short payment term helps with liquidity and to enable prompt action if there are potentially doubtful or bad debt.

The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the Statement of Financial Position represents the Association’s maximum exposure.



87

NOTE 20: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONT’D)

Capital risk strategy (cont’d)

(c) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the market value of the Association’s investments will be adversely affected by fluctuations in interest rates. The effective weighted average interest rates on those financial assets and financial liabilities, is as follows:

Weighted Average Interest Weight Fair value

2018 %

2017 %

Trade receivables - - 308,542 227,283

Financial assets:

As at 31 December 2018, cash and cash equivalents held in the Association amount to $308,062 (2017: $102,110).

The Association held short term bank deposits amounting to $500,000 (2017: $701,650) which account for the substantial part of current assets. The short term bank deposits are kept in an interest bearing account. Therefore, fluctuations in interest rates will have an impact on revenue earned from this liquid resource. An interest rate change of 0.50% up or down based on the amount as at 31 December 2018 will increase or decrease revenue by $250 (2017: $351).

(d) Foreign Currency Risk

The Association does not carry out any business that would give rise to foreign currency risk.

(e) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Association will have insufficient liquidity to meet its obligations as they fall due. All payables are non-interest bearing and standard settlement terms apply. This risk is managed by regularly monitoring liquid reserves and obligations falling due and through holding of cash and only short-term deposits. The Association is cash flow positive with cash inflows constantly exceeding outflows on a monthly basis.

The Association’s only financial liabilities are payables which are all contracted to be settled within 30 days after reporting date (2017: 30 days).

NOTE 21: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

There has not been any matter or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the year that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the entity, the results of those operations or state of affairs of the entity in future financial years.

Directors’ Declaration

89

Independent Auditor’s Report to the members of Hockey Victoria Incorporated

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Hockey Victoria Incorporated (the “Entity”), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, the income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the declaration by the directors.

In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Entity, is in accordance with the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012, including:

(i) giving a true and fair view of the Entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2018 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and

(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Regime.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Entity in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012, which has been given to the directors of the Entity, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

The Members of the Board’s Responsibilities for the Financial Report

The Members of the Board are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012 and for such internal control as the Members of the Board determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the Members of the Board are responsible for assessing the Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Members of the Board either intend to liquidate the Entity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Financial Report |


• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Entity’s internal control.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Members of the Board.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Members of the Board’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Entity to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with the Members of the Board regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the Members of the Board with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the Members of the Board, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
