Normal rules for hockey with the following exceptions:
Teams consist of 6 field players and a padded goalkeeper. 7 field players is permitted
Social comp only: All shots at goal must be below backboard height (due to a lack of goalkeepers, and wide range of skill levels registered for this grade)
Short corners replaced with one-on-one (8 seconds to score); *If no padded keeper, advantage goal awarded
Following a goal being scored, the ball is played by the defending team ~5 yards from the baseline, with no stoppage
Borrowing of players from other teams is allowed, but only to make up 7 players
Fixtures
There will be no finals as such - the team with the most points at the end of the fixtured games will be awarded the inaugural premiership
Fees are to be paid via the club website - $30 for the 6 week competition
Fixtures will run for 6 weeks from 14th February to 21st March (fixtures below).
Umpiring
Senior teams will be responsible for umpiring of their own grade as rostered. Teams must supply two umpires for each game, and must bring their own whistles
Social teams will have at least one volunteer umpire supplied for their games. There will be an opportunity for mentoring of younger players
Scorecards will be provided, to be completed by the umpires. These are to be signed and returned to TJ as soon as possible (a scan/photo will be sufficient)
This competition is a great opportunity for us all to gain some confidence in our umpiring. Be respectful to the umpires, exercise honesty, and be encouraging!
Timekeeping & Field Etiquette
The umpires will be responsible for keeping strictly to the allocated times, to ensure even the last game of the night starts on time.
If a game starts late, it must still finish on time. Players must not enter the field until the previous game has finished. Following their own game, players must exit the field in a timely fashion prior to the next game commencing.
Antisocial behaviour will not be tolerated at any time. This is essentially an intra-club competition - be nice to each other!
