ASSESSMENTS - ROUND TWO
We are pleased to announce our final assessment for all prospective Vancouver Hawks players.
While attendance at this assessment is not required, we strongly encourage all players to attend a final assessment. If you have not attended an assessment session this summer, attendance at the appropriate August session for your skill level is the only way to inform the proper preliminary team placement for you/your player, particularly if you/they are new to our Women’s teams.
For Premier, Division 1, and Division 2 players, the final opportunity for an assessment will be August 24, 9 - 10:30 pm at Hamber.
For Division 3 to Division 7 players, the final opportunity for an assessment will be August 26, 6 - 8 pm at Hamber.
Returning, New, and Prospective Hawks Senior Women,
We are pleased to announce a comprehensive series of assessments for our 2022/23 senior teams, and we ask that every player who wishes to play in the senior league in 2022/23 attend at least one session. If you are unable to attend any of the appropriate sessions for any reason please complete the Statement of Intent form so that we can factor you in to our team planning. We will have further opportunity in August to place you, however, this will make things harder for your coaches, teammates, and the club so please do your best to attend.
These assessments will be overseen by our Head Coach, Matt Sarmento. Each session will have coaches from the relevant divisions plus independent assessors present, and teams will be formed based on some of the following criteria (not in order):
- Previous coach’s evaluation
- Performance at assessment session(s)
- Social fit
- Other
SESSION DETAILS
Players are to self-select which session(s) they are suited to attend, and you may attend as many as you wish:
| Field | Date | Day | Time | Event | Registration Link |
| Hamber | June 21 | Tue | 8-9:30 | Prem/1/2 | CLOSED |

*Sessions will begin promptly at the listed start time. Please arrive early enough to warm up, sign in, and receive a numbered pinnie.
Registrations will remain open until the day before the session starts, please register in advance of attending so that we have accurate player information. The Statement of Intent will be open until June 30th.
If you are not able to attend any of the above sessions, please make sure that you complete a Statement of Intent to indicate your desire to play for Hawks this coming season; failure to complete this form may restrict our ability to accommodate you should you reach out to us or attempt to register later in the summer as we have limited teams and space
LINK – HAWKS Statement of Intent.
Any junior aged 14 and up is eligible to play in the VWFHA league and we hope to see you join. All adults are of course welcome, and those new to the club are encouraged to attend the assessments.
We look forward to seeing you at the field in the coming weeks!
2022 Summer Senior Drop-In
Open to players 14+, our Summer Senior Drop In sessions start Tues. July 5th.
Registration for each session is $40 for the summer. We ask that people please limit themselves to a max of one mixed and one single gender session – if sessions do not fill up we will open up the sessions to allow for you to attend more. We are limiting the sessions in this way to ensure we do not have too many people attending the field at one time.
Session details and registration links:
| Hamber | Tuesdays | 8-9:30pm | Senior Mixed | SESSION IS FULL |
| Hamber | Thursdays | 8-9:30pm | Senior Mixed | CLOSED |

Hawks Ambassadors
Our Club Ambassadors are always available to help you if you have any questions about the Club or if you are not sure about which team may be appropriate for you. They come from the highest, lowest and indeed middle teams, and will be able to point you in the right direction!
Ceri Cornwall
"I started playing field hockey at age 12, much against my will as I “thought" that I preferred swimming. Bullied into a team sport, played outside mainly in the rains of North Yorkshire, I grew to love the game. I am astounded to say that over 40 years later I’m still playing! The occasional swim still sometimes occurs on the slightly damp fields of now, The North Shore, but the move from the grassy knolls of Yorkshire to the lush turf of Vancouver keeps my love of field hockey alive and well... New for this year is Umpiring 😉 Ceri is the person to contact at ceri.cornwall@gmail.com for social/competitive league hockey!"
Rolf Sickmuller
Rolf has been dribbling (rather clumsily) and whacking (rather erratically) a hockey ball since he was able to tie his shoelaces (no idea when that was, but it was certainly pre-velcro). He joined the Vancouver Hawks in 1991 and has since played on a number of teams in various divisions, still seeking the perfect placement. Rolf has, in recent years, played with the Hawks B and C teams.
Rolf can be contacted at sickmuller@envirowest.ca
2022/2023 Indoor Program
We are delighted to announce our Vancouver Hawks Indoor Program!
We have been lucky enough to secure gym time at York House School for indoor this year. Sessions will be coached by paid Hawks coaches, led by our Head Coach Matt Sarmento. Players are expected to arrive early and warm up off the court, as time in the gym is limited.
Equipment
Hawks have indoor sticks available to borrow. If you would like to purchase your own we have a discount available with Just Field Hockey – please email Andrew for more information. We strongly recommend all senior players wear gloves – these are available to purchase from the club at the gym for $35 each.
