League Information
3 or 4 schools will meet and will all play each other. Every school will play each other at least once during the season.
Rules
Mini hockey 7-a-side rules shall be played or adapted to the pitch markings. Games will be centrally timed at 12 minutes one way. 3pts will be awarded for a win, 2pts for a draw and 1pt for a loss. Where a school does not attend, without prior notice, walk overs will be given to the other teams taking part. A 3-0 win will be awarded to the schools attending the fixture. Newark H.C. will try and provide umpires, but where this is not possible, it is hoped that Teachers, Teaching Assistants or parents will help.
Teams
To consist of both girls and boys and will be made up of pupils in the years 4, 5, or 6. You can have up to 10 players in a squad, with seven playing at a time. Teams will need a fully kitted-up Goalie (if you haven’t got a goalie kit, please let us know, and we will arrange one for you). We should always try to have two girls on the pitch at any one time, and you can substitute at any time other than when a penalty corner has been awarded.
Equipment Required
All players should wear shin pads and gum shields.
