Wheatbelt Academy 2025: Developing Regional Talent, One Session at a Time

Hockey WA is proud to announce the return of the Wheatbelt Academy in 2025, continuing our commitment to developing young hockey talent across regional Western Australia.

Designed for aspiring athletes aged 12 to 17, the Academy offers a fantastic opportunity to train, grow, and connect with others who share a passion for the game.

This year’s Academy will run across two hubs in the Wheatbelt region – Northam and Narrogin – with an exciting third session to be held in Perth during the Fuel to Go & Play Club Championships.
