Aleisha Power, will be in Margaret River! With 25 appearances as the Hockeyroos Goalkeeper she will be keen to share her advice and observe our training session. Although she won't be training due to an injury, this is a great opportunity to bring your gear, test out the new club equipment, and showcase our training methods. Aleisha can offer valuable feedback during our skills sessions.
The event is free, but please register using the link below (for planning event purposes).
As part of the Olympians Unleashed tour we are lucky enough to have Aleisha Power (hockey) and Josie Tomic (Cycling) visiting Margaret River!
The Australian Olympic Committee alongside the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries are hosting a community engagement opportunity in Margaret River on the 18th of October- as part of the Olympics Unleashed program touring the South West region.
The Olympics Unleashed program is returning to the South West after a successful visit in 2021. The program has a regional focus where Olympians and aspiring Olympians travel to regional locations across Western Australia to engage with local communities and share how they set goals, overcome challenges, and demonstrate resilience throughout their athletic journey.
Here in the South West, we are lucky enough to have two very experienced athletes coming to the region.
