Games

The teams play on 3/4 size field with 9 players on the field at a time (no goal keeper). The games are 2 halves of 20 minutes each with a 5 minute break at half time. No score is kept for the games and there is not a ladder.

Players will need a hockey stick, mouthguard and shin pads. Normal running shoes are suitable. You will need to be at the ground 30 minutes before your game for a warm up and coach talk.

Teams

Teams are typically mixed boys and girls. Players will need a playing shirt, blue socks, navy shorts/skorts and appropriate foot wear.  All our club coaches are volunteers and have “Working With Children” cards.

A team coach and manager from the parent group is required for each team. They will liaise with the J 3/4 Coordinator.
Teams are NOT chosen on ability alone, but also peer and school groupings where possible are taken into account. On game day parents will be asked to provide oranges in a rostered system.
A few times a year there is dinner after training, which is a highlight for the kids. Dinners are allocated to a group to organise, and the J3/4 parents are responsible for one dinner during the season.

Team Training

Training for J3/4 Teams is Thursday at Charles Veryard Reserve 4.30-5.30pm.

Training for J3/4 teams is Saturday at Lilac Hill 9-10 am

Rules

The J3/4 rules are modified to suit the age group and ensure safety. The coach may be on the field (but out of the way of the play) during the game providing support. 

Hitting is allowed
