PLay WITH
PRIDE
We are a welcoming and LGBTIA+ inclusive social hockey club based in Perth, Western Australia.
EVERYONE IS WELCOME
Sport brings people together.
​
That's why we welcome everyone from complete beginners to experienced players, all members of the LGBTI+ community and our allies.
​
Come be part of our growing family!
​
Never played hockey?
No worries. We'll teach you.
​
Played for years?
Awesome - you can teach us a thing or two!
​
​
LEADERS OF CHANGE
In summer, our social teams play and train together every Sunday.
​
In winter, we don't hibernate.
​
We play in the wider Hockey WA competition for a variety of Perth clubs.
​
Why?
​
We're not exclusive, and we want all sports, all codes, all teams to be inclusive.
​
While homophobia* can sadly find its way into many sporting cultures and clubs, we believe that the best way to combat this is to be out, proud, and active within our communities.
​
There's a reason we play with pride.
​
It's because we believe it creates change.
​
​
​
*including biphobia, transphobia and all forms of discrimination.
