getting started - it's simple

STEP 1: COME TO TRAINING

The best way to start is to come down to Thursday night training. Choose the session that matches your experience level:

7:00pm for lower grades (more social, beginner-friendly)
8:00pm for higher grades (more competitive)

There’s no need to commit or register beforehand. Join a session, see how you feel, and get a sense of the club. You’re welcome to attend training for a few weeks to determine if Briars is the right fit for you.

STEP 2: LET US KNOW YOU'RE COMING

While it’s not required, we’d love to meet you on your first session! Please email our Women’s Vice President to introduce yourself:

Contact: Grace at womens@briarshockey.com.au

STEP 3: try before you commit

Not sure if you want to invest in equipment yet? No problem. You’re welcome to borrow a hockey stick from our club storeroom for training and trials until you’re ready to make a decision.
