Head Injuries
While the majority of Managers/Coaches look after and prioritise player welfare pretty well, so there is no grey areas and spur of the moment emotions in certain games influencing decisions, the following rule is in effect (same rules for everyone):
If a player:
- Requires medical attention or has to leave the field due to a head injury, NO matter how minor it seems, they are unable to play the remainder of that game.
- Clearly shows signs of a concussion (see below), are unable to play again until a Doctors clearance is emailed through. Reminder that concussion symptoms may not show for 48hrs AND the riskiest time is another knock during this period.
The potential health risks here far outweigh a game of hockey, be smart, think to the future as a breach of this rule may result in a judiciary and subsequent penalties.
Match Official/Umpires please report any such events (Date, Team , Player Name , Shirt #).
Cancellations
It is very rare for hockey to be cancelled, as hockey is played on an artificial surface. Sometimes the turf can experience flooding but this does drain away quickly once the rain stops.
Cancellation notifications will appear here on the rare occasions.
Otherwise: If not cancelled AND weather changes it is up to the Umpires (in consultation with coaches) to determine if the match starts or is abandoned. Note Games must finish on Time, if you start late or there are weather interruptions the game is shortened.
Uniform: Uniform is provided for all teams. Students are required to purchase their own socks from NZ Uniforms.
Gear: Own hockey stick, mouth guard and shin pads.
