U9’s
Fun 4s is an exciting version of the game that introduces the sport to our youngest players. Games are played between two teams of 4 on 1/8 of the size of a full size hockey pitch. Teams can be mixed as there isn’t a big difference of ability between girls and boys at this age group . The whole aim is to introduce hockey to our youngest players and thus rules go out the window and fun is the order of the day.
U11’s – Super Sixes
Super 6s is the next step in the ladder and the progression from Fun 4s. Super 6s is played on 1/3 of a full sized hockey pitch with teams having 6 players on the pitch at any one time. This format encourages plenty of touches of the ball while developing core areas of the game such as ball and stick control, core skills, passing, receiving and tackling in a bigger pitch size.
U13’s – Extreme 8s
Extreme 8s is the final progression before 11 a side hockey. Extreme 8s is played on half of a full sized hockey pitch between two teams of 8. This final stepping stone allows young players to think more about spatial awareness on the pitch and about playing a more expansive game. This also encourages the use of different advanced skills and techniques such as 3D skills and aerial passes.
