Hi Everyone! I’m Shivaa, a 12-year-old field hockey player from the beautiful Mornington Peninsula. I play as a forward and midfielder, and I absolutely love the game. I'm incredibly proud to share that I’ve been selected to represent Victoria at the U12 School Sport Australia Championships, which will be held in Bendigo from 17–22 August 2025.

On top of that, I’ll also be hitting the field for the Southern Metropolitan Sharks in the Hockey Victoria U12 Hockey 5s Junior State Championships, happening between 9 & 10 July 2025 at the Footscray Hockey Centre.

These selections are a dream come true and a reflection of the dedication, hard work, and countless hours I’ve put into hockey. Every training session, every early morning, and every game has brought me one step closer to my ultimate goal: wearing the green and gold and playing for Australia.

I'm raising funds to help cover the costs involved in taking part in these incredible opportunities, including tournament fees, travel, uniforms, equipment, and accommodation. Representing my state comes with expenses, and every bit of support makes a big difference. Hockey has given me so much, confidence, teamwork, and lifelong friendships and I’m determined to give it everything I’ve got. With your help, I can proudly represent Victoria and take another step towards my bigger dream of making the national team.

If you’re able to support my journey, I’d be incredibly grateful. Whether it’s a donation or simply sharing my story, your support means the world to me and my family.

Thank you,

Shivaa
