There's a new game in town Rush Hockey!

WHAT IS RUSH HOCKEY?


Think you know hockey? Think again. Do you love the rush of a team sport, but never find the time to commit to one? Now there's a game that fits around your life. It's fast. It's furious. It's fun.
 It's social. It's smaller pitches.
 It's 5-a-side. See the video links below for an insight.

We are holding our first RUSH HOCKEY

Starting Thursday evening 4th August for 5 weeks at Aylesford School (see location) between 7 and 9:30pm.

We are looking to get 6 men's teams and six women's teams to run a mini-league over the 5 weeks.

Contact our Dan Honey-Smith via news@warwickhockey.co.uk if you are interested in taking part or coming along to support and help out.


RUSH HOCKEY RULES AT A GLANCE

Teams are 5-a-side with squads made up of up to 7 players

The game involves no deliberate:
  • Feet
  • Using the back of the stick
  • Stick tackling
  • Contact with other players
  • Neither the stick or the ball should be raised above knee height
  • A sideline ball is taken from the point of exit. The ball can either be passed to a team member or taken into play yourself (known as a self pass)
  • Players can shoot from anywhere
  • When a rule is broken the ball will be awarded to the opposing team where it can either be passed to a team member or taken into play yourself (known as a self pass)
  • After a goal is scored, play is restarted from the centre of the pitch
