The South Australian outdoor hockey season generally runs from April until September,
with preseason beginning in mid-January.
We recommend arriving in Adelaide during January. This provides time to:
- Enjoy an Australian summer
- Settle into accommodation
- Begin looking for employment
- Meet teammates and club members
- Participate fully in preseason
- Prepare for the competitive season
Players considering a later arrival should contact the club early so that availability,
registration and finals eligibility requirements can be checked.
Exact competition and finals dates will be confirmed once Hockey South Australia
releases the 2027 schedule.
Weekly commitment
Preseason normally includes:
- Tuesday-night training
- Thursday-night training
- An additional Saturday or Sunday session
During the season, players can expect:
- Tuesday training from approximately 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm
- Thursday training from approximately 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm
- One match on Saturday or Sunday
- Additional optional training opportunities
Most matches are played within metropolitan Adelaide.
