Our program runs for the first six weeks of Term One and is open to children from Year 3 to Year 13, offering a unique chance to elevate skills and deepen game understanding in a supportive environment.

 

Founded in 2005 by Lincoln Churchill and Matt Ling, Fetch has a strong reputation for developing young talent. Lincoln, a former Canterbury Hockey development officer and Midlands High Performance coach, established the program’s solid foundation. Matt Ling, who joined in 2007, brings extensive local and international coaching experience, including leading Villa Maria's First XI to the Federation Cup in 2016 and his ongoing role at Harewood Hockey Club.

 

Atamira De Goldi Ling joined later, contributing her extensive coaching background from Avon Hockey Club, Canterbury age group teams, and guiding St Andrew's College 1st XI girls to a second-place finish at the 2023 Federation Cup.

 

Fetch Hockey stands out for its high-quality coaching and well-rounded approach. We focus on skill development, decision-making, and fostering a love for the game.
