This is an intraclub competition run for children in year 3 and year 4 at school.
Game Day
We are excited to announce that we will be continuing to run H2H in two locations this year with sessions at both Charles Veryard Reserve and Lilac Hill Park!

H2H at The Hill - Saturdays 9am - 10am All Age Groups K - Y4 (From Saturday May 3rd)
This year H2H will consist of 16 sessions across term 2 and term 3 as follows:

9-16 24 July - 11 Sept 26 July -13 Sept
Whilst you will still need to select either Lilac Hill or Charles Veryard when registering, this year you can attend either location meaning you can attend up to 32 sessions!
For the Y3/4 H2H kids Thursday nights at Charles Veryard will focus on skill development and we will continue to play modified games on a Saturday morning at Lilac Hill in preparation for games against other clubs at the Super Saturdays!

Fixtures
From your manager
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
