YOUNG HOCKEY STAR - SOPHIE HOLMES!
Congratulations to Sophie Holmes (6MH), who is competing at a top level in Hockey.
Sophie represented in the mid North Coast Sharks hockey team at the Centre of Development Regional challenge held from 28th February to 1st March 2020 at the Bathurst hockey stadium.
There were over 1000 children representing regional New South Wales with both boys and girls in under 13 and under 15 teams.
The girls played nine games over the whole weekend and conducted themselves very well. At the end of the challenge each region received a Regional Challenge players award. The criteria for this award is athletes on field performance over the weekend, citizenship displayed, and performance of the athlete at the regional sessions of Centre of Development training. The award was selected by the coaching coordinator in the New South Wales hockey pathway and Sophie achieved this award. She even managed to score a goal on the first day and also ran herself into the goal post after attempting another goal.
Great job Sophie!
Yours in Sport
