Hockey

At Bryanston Parallel Medium School Hockey is a fantastic introduction to this fast-paced sport!

Field Hockey is the second largest team sport in the world and is played in over 100 countries. We fall under the Southern Gauteng Hockey Association (SGHA) and follow their values regarding the sport of hockey.

At least 80% of the girls at Bryanston Parallel play hockey. No one is turned away as it is a skill that needs to be developed. We have so many teams that we made the decision to enrol into two leagues, D9 & D10.

Mini Hockey

Girls from Grade R to Grade 3 (u/6-u/9) play Mini Hockey, where they experience the game on a smaller, more manageable scale. While most field hockey rules apply, the quarter field length makes it more accessible and enjoyable for our young players.
Our Mini Hockey enthusiasts also have the opportunity to attend junior hockey tournaments, adding a competitive edge to their experience and helping them grow in skill and confidence.
To kick off the season with a bang, we hold an annual hockey clinic at the beginning of Term 3 for u/6 to u/8 girls, ensuring that every player starts off on the right foot.

Senior Girls Hockey (u/9-13):

Scheduled during the third term, our u/9 to u/13 girls showcase their skills and teamwork on the hockey field.
To gear up for the season, we host a hockey camp at the end of the second term, providing our players with the perfect opportunity to fine-tune their skills and bond as a team.

Boys Hockey

at Bryanston Parallel Medium School has quickly become a valued part of our sports program!
Introduced in 2016, boys’ hockey is now a highlight of our third-term sports calendar, with only the u/12 and u/13 boys participating.
To enhance their skills and team spirit, our boys attend an annual camp held at the end of the second term, ensuring they’re well-prepared for the exciting season ahead.
