Hockey Australia, in partnership with major sponsor Adina Hotels, successfully delivered a free Adina Community Clinic in Hobart this past weekend, coinciding with the high-stakes FIH Pro League matches at the Aurora Energy Tasmanian Hockey Centre.
The initiative provided 100 local children with a rare opportunity to sharpen their skills alongside elite athletes from the Hockeyroos and Kookaburras.
The clinic, held on Sunday 15 February 2026, targeted participants aged 5–12 as a gateway into Hookin2Hockey, the national junior participation program. By offering a fun and inclusive environment, the organisation aims to lower the barrier for families exploring the sport before the winter season begins.
Commenting about the event, Hockey Australia, said: “Adina Community Clinics are delivered across Australia, connecting communities with the game’s heroes.”
Noting that the events provide a positive first step for the next generation of players.
The timing of the clinic is particularly important for Adina Hotels. The premium apartment-style brand is set to make its official Tasmanian debut in the second half of 2026 with the opening of Adina Hobart. The 48-key development, located within the same complex as Vibe Hotel Hobart, will offer studio and multi-bedroom apartments designed to meet the growing demand for flexible, premium accommodation in the Tasmanian capital.
