Hi Everyone,

With the winter hockey season almost completed for another year it is time to start thinking about summer hockey.  The Hockey Geelong summer hockey competition will begin on the 10th of October, which is now only a month away.  

To assist with planning teams for the 2022-23 summer hockey competition, could you please complete the following online form https://forms.gle/R1ZmhqPDHRSE9aiJ8. We are hoping to enter a Golden Plains team for every category, or depending on numbers facilitate a combined team entry with another club.

New to summer hockey?  Summer hockey is a modified form of field hockey, that uses the following rules...

• 7 players per side, plus up to 4 subs (11 in total);

• Teams are mixed gender, with a maximum of 4 males (per side) on the pitch at any time;

• No goalkeepers;

• Played across half of a hockey pitch;

• 2 x 25 minute halves;

• Ball must be below knee height at all times, including when shooting at goal.  No hitting allowed (includes slap hits).  Pushes only.
