The 2025 Winter Competition ends this weekend, with 29 Senior Grand Final matches being played on Saturday 13th, and then League Grand Final day on Sunday 14th Sept.

State Netball Hockey Centre
The League Reserve (Saturday 13th) & League (Sunday 14th) Grand Finals will be held at the State Netball Hockey Centre in Parkville. With 17 different clubs being represented across the 13 matches, we are expecting a big turnout and fantastic environment this weekend.
There will be 3 separate areas to purchase drinks & snacks, as well as food trucks and a DJ on the Sunday to provide some good food and tunes throughout the day. The service of alcohol will commence at 12pm on both Saturday and Sunday.
There will be a Grappling Event and Netball competitions running on the weekend on both Saturday and Sunday, so parking will be limited. We encourage commuters to organise carpooling or public transport.
For all coming to the centre over the weekend, please read the terms of entry here, and see some reminders below:
· Please use entrance B to enter the venue. Players can walk along the Ground Floor to access the Pitch, whilst Patrons should go up the stairs to Level 1.
· The venue has legislation that stipulates at any time they may search any type of esky or cooler bag brought into the venue. The venue prohibits alcohol and commercial (bulk) quantities of food and drink being brought into the venue. Bag checks will be being conducted and the venue will deny entry and remove any member, including players, that are found with outside alcohol in the venue.
· Make sure that we treat all venue staff and other spectators with respect and abide by the Code of Conduct in our dealings with people in the community. Any individuals not upholding this conduct will be escorted off the premises by security.

Behavioural Conduct
We understand that as Grand Finals are upon us, there will be larger crowds and there will be moments that will bring out all the emotions that come with competitive sport. There will be excitement and frustration, there will be times you will disagree with a decision made by officials.
It is paramount that we all remember why we are participating. It could be that you:
· Are supporting friends and family
· Love the physical, social and mental health benefits
· Simply love the competitiveness that comes with the sport
Whatever the reason we must all conduct ourselves in the appropriate manner.
Support your team, celebrate wins but be humble, be disappointed in a loss but don’t look for excuses or someone to blame.
Don’t forget to thank those who often get overlooked, club administrators, match day officials, whoever remembered to bring the lollies for half time!
Congratulations to all our affiliates on a fantastic season this year, and our sincere thanks to everyone for their contribution to Victorian hockey in 2025. Best of luck to all the Grand Finalist teams this weekend!
