These sessions are open to everyone (min age 13 yrs).
The weekly mixed friendly hockey starts early Mayl, and will continue on Wednesday evenings, 7:00-8.00pm, throughout the summer.
Costs: To hire the pitch for one hour costs £48, the lights another £30. We need to cover these costs and maybe make a little profit which goes into the pitch replacement funds and benefits everyone who plays hockey.
Match fee £4 per player to be paid via ClubBuzz (or on the night, cash or card for non/new members).
Any profits from the Mixed Hockey sessions, including the Summer Mixed 7s Tournament, will be put towards the Astro carpet replacement fund for the benefit of all hockey players and to make purchases for the new clubhouse which can be enjoyed by all.
These are very sociable evenings and we will meet up in the CLUBHOUSE after the game for a drink and chat.
Communications: Notifications will be sent via our ClubBuzz website email system which is a reliable way of contacting large numbers, especially if needed in a hurry, eg to cancel.

Social Mixed Hockey – Conditions of Play
Note: This is hockey played by adults. It is open to 13 year olds and above, who are looking to play in adult teams.
In order to put some structure to the mixed hockey sessions, which, as its name suggests, is social, the following will apply:
1. When playing on half a pitch numbers will be limited to a maximum of seven a side. This may require a number of teams and a series of short games, with teams swapping in and out. This would also provide umpires for the game(s) in progress.
2. No hits on goal, reverse stick hits or aerial or lifted balls. More experienced players should ‘hold back’
3. Promote the use of “pushing” and “slapping”
4. Ensure there is, at the very least, a “player umpire”, and where possible non-playing umpires.
5. A first aid kit should always be available. A number of qualified first aiders regularly attend the sessions.
6. We do not feel there was any need to restrict the age range further (currently 12 -120yrs) as this is “social hockey” designed to promote involvement of all ages at all ability levels.
As with all Belper Hockey, by playing, you assume the risk and are responsible for your actions.
