Welcome
The Sydney Masters Hockey Association (SMHA) was established in 1982 to administer Men's Masters hockey within the greater Sydney region.
SMHA has the largest, longest running annual competitions and been the most successful Men's Masters Hockey Association in NSW since its inception. It is overseen by a Board of Directors elected by members (under a Constitution).
The annual competitions now boast 31 teams (from 14 Clubs), spread across 5 divisions from Premier League, Sydney Cup, Masters League, Senior Masters Division and Grand Masters Division, with over 500 players from ages Over 34 up to 80+.
All matches played at Sydney Olympic Park Hockey Centre (Monday (February and March only), Tuesday and Wednesday nights) between February and September.
Sydney also enters representative teams (from Over 34's up to Over 70's) at the annual NSW Championships, and enjoys a high level of player representation in the selected NSW and Australian Men's Masters teams.
