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 folder at Hockey HQ. Please also scan / take photo and text to TJ
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!

Normal rules for hockey with the following exceptions:
Teams consist of 6 field players and a padded goalkeeper. 7 field players with no goalkeeper is permitted
Penalty corners replaced with one-on-ones (8 seconds to score). If the defending team is playing without a goalkeeper, advantage goal will be automatically 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
Social (family) 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)
Social (family) games - NO OVERHEADS! Let’s keep it safe and friendly!
-
The umpires will be responsible for keeping strictly to the allocated times, to ensure even the last game of the night starts on time. Please use our NEW SCOREBOARD FOR TIME KEEPING!
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!
