National Super Skills Challenge

 

Austin Smith and SportWays invite YOU to take the NATIONAL SUPER SKILLS CHALLENGE designed by Austin Smith himself, SA's best player and SA men's hockey captain! Do you accept the challenge?

 

Austin has become a world class player and has a set of world class skills to share with you no matter your current technical ability! Powered by SportWays the Dutch experts in hockey coaching, the set of 6 specific skills Austin would like you to learn to take your game to the next level is aimed at players 6 to 13 years old, both guys and girls and will be presented by our top SportWays Technical Directors. 

 

Austin wishes his parents had sent him to high quality holiday clinics so he could have been a better player today! So improve your skills and have a ton of fun with SportWays during the school holidays.

 

Each SuperSkills session will include a tournament round of the NEW FIH format, HOCKEY 5's or "SportWays 5Z"! This is the format of the u17 Youth Olympic Games and a great opportunity for players to implement the skills learnt. 

 

GOALIES - there is no specific challenge for goalies. Goalies are welcome to take part in the National SuperSkills Challenge as outfield players and then play goalie during the SportWays 5Z tournament.
