equipment
We recommend wearing a comfortable top, shorts/skort, and where possible dark-coloured hockey socks. You may find a hat is needed in the hot afternoons. Each player is to provide their own sneakers/turf shoes, mouthguard, shinpads and hockey stick. We do have spare sticks in the shed if required. You will not be permitted to play if you do not have shinpads or a mouthguard! Please ensure that your child has their water bottle with them on the turf.
rules
There will be 1 umpire per game. As per normal MJHC guidelines, we expect respect to be given to our umpires and other support team members. This applies to both players and supporters. Safety is always our top priority. Overtly dangerous play by a player or players will result in their removal from the game.
  • No balls above the knee.
  • Penalty corners will be taken with 4 attackers vs 3 defenders, the remaining 4 defenders start inside their opposite goal (attacking goal). The ball must be stopped outside the D, before being able to score a goal!
  • Year 7 – 10s - As there is no padded goalie, there will be no PCs, only long corners.
  • Lifts are permitted ONLY if it is a clear shot at goal.
  • The umpire’s decision is final.
