Hockey

The game of Hockey is played widely across the world. 

In England it is a popular family orientated sport, played mainly in clubs by both men and women. The game is well-liked in many schools, particularly in the independent sector and offers a lifetime of both sporting and social opportunities for players, officials and administrators alike.

2012 is a big year for hockey as an Olympic sport and we would love you to get more people involved in hockey through informal or organised activities or by volunteering at our special events or club activities.

RUSH HOCKEY

RUSH HOCKEY is a new and great way to play for men and women of all abilities. It's fast, it's furious, it's fun, it's indoors or outdoors, the pitch is small and the game is 4‐a‐side or 5‐a‐side. It can be played informally or as part of a league and is available nationwide.

Each Rush Hockey club or sports centre will supply the equipment and you and your friends will usually be welcomed by an Activator to help get things started. Some centres are operating on a turn up and play basis and some are organising leagues. To find out where to play Rush Hockey or to register a team go to play Rushhockey on Facebook or check out the Rush Hockey website

BACK TO HOCKEY

BACK TO HOCKEY is a fun new activity for women that provides a gentle introduction or reintroduction to hockey. 'Back To' provides a great opportunity for women to bring friends and make new friends - to really enjoy playing in a friendly and relaxed environment. Back to Hockey is available nationwide and equipment is provided. The sessions usually run for a few weeks so as all you need to do is get some female friends together and find your nearest Back to Hockey programme.
