Officiating - Hockey NSW

Our mission for the Officiating Strategy is to Deliver the Best officials and officiating infrastructure for hockey in NSW with the vision to lead the hockey officiating community for participation, success and fun in NSW.

We have internally identified strengths and weaknesses in the current system and are looking to work with the community to produce a comprehensive plan which eliminates current integrity issues and provides a defensible system for the education, accreditation and recognition of all officials in NSW.

A key focus of this survey is to identify current working, or developing strategies at an association level to promote retention, education and engagement of officials for Hockey.

This survey has been sent to each Association, here we do ask for constructive feedback (EXPAND) around honesty,
