For more than 50 years, Emu Plains Hockey Club has been fostering a fun, inclusive, and supportive environment for the hockey community of Penrith, Emu Plains, Kingswood, St Marys, the lower Blue Mountains and beyond.
Our club ethos is simple: play hard, have fun. We pride ourselves on our strong sense of community, our passion for the game, and our commitment to maintaining the highest levels of sportsmanship.
At Emu, we believe that hockey is for everyone and welcome players of all ages, abilities and fitness levels. Our club is a long-standing participant of the Nepean Hockey Association with our teams playing at all levels of competition.
Whether you’re new to the sport or a seasoned player, 5 years old or 65 years young, we’d love to have you join us and can’t wait to see you on the field!
Governance and Structure
Emu Plains Hockey Club is run by a dedicated team of volunteers drawn from our community of players and their families.
The club is led by the Executive consisting of the President, two Vice-Presidents, the Treasurer and the Secretary. Alongside them are four Conveners who manage teams and umpiring. In addition, there are a variety of smaller formal and informal positions within the club to ensure any additional duties are fulfilled.
Our committee meets at Kingswood Sports Club from 7.30pm on the first Monday of each month and we encourage all club members to attend.
We appreciate everyone who volunteers for these roles and value their contributions in making our club is a fun, welcoming and inclusive environment that fosters growth both on and off the field.
If you are interested in joining this amazing team please reach out to one of our friendly executives or email the Secretary at [email protected].
