Business House 6-aside Hockey

Following is the information for another round of business house hockey commencing on Friday 28th October 2011. Finals night to be determined when team numbers are known .

We have re defined a hockey player as follows:- “a hockey player is a person who has or does play competitive hockey”

Team members must be named at time of entry otherwise we will select your grade for you.
New ruling – In the Social grade if teams are short on the night they can borrow a player from another Social grade team to fill in. Competitive grade players cannot play social grade but social players can fill in, in competitive teams – but they must have a mouthguard. On finals night players may only play in their nominated team (i.e. only play one game)

Family Grade – Teams to have minimum of 2 and maximum of 3 Adults on turf at one time

Teams will be rostered on to help in the kitchen and run the clock – 2 people required in the kitchen and one person for the clock/umpires etc – please make sure you turn up!. The draw, game cards etc will all be done ready so it is only a matter of having people on hand to do the rest.

If you have any queries please contact Fiona at the Turf on 3675353.
