Format/Rules

•     Facility - FIH specified field, fully licensed bar and canteen, spectator seating.

Children aged 14 years and over are permitted to participate in the senior competitions. Exceptions may be made for younger players at the committee’s discretion if they play on a team with their parent/guardian or have achieved a state representation level.

•     6 players per team on the field including goalie.

•     Substitute players are in accordance with local rules.  

•     Friday Senior Mixed, Full Court Mixed Juniors & U25 mixed teams are limited to 2 male players on the court at any one-time excluding goalkeeper or can be an all-female team.

•     Games - 2 x 18-minute halves, 2* or 3 minutes half time and 4* or 6 minutes between games (* Tuesday, Thursday, Friday night games)

•     Each team should have a fully kitted goalkeeper.  All COVID policies need to be adhered to in relation to goalkeeping equipment.

•     Each team should supply their own warm up indoor balls.

•     Shin pads and mouth guards are compulsory for juniors and highly recommended for senior.

•     Players are to wear non-marking sports shoes and must use an indoor hockey stick to help protect our wooden floor.

•     Team Colour: Teams must play with a uniform team colour (t-shirt).

•     Half Court Matches, with the exception of the highest grade, will have an additional local rule whereby goalkeepers must defend on their feet and shots on goal cannot be above knee height of any player between the shot and frame of the goal.  Transgression by the goalie will result in a penalty corner, transgression by an attacker to result in a free push to the defending team.  NB: Raised shots on goal are permitted in the highest Saturday half court grade. However, note as per FIH 2019 13.3 J – a ball above the knee striking a player within 3m of the shot on goal from a penalty corner is deemed to be dangerous play and results in a free push to the defensive team.

 

There will be opportunities for junior players to be selected for representative teams in U13, U15, U18, U21, Masters divisions.
