Small sided hockey is a new format of the game introduced to maximise the number of people that can play on a pitch, and also work with more informal situations. It is played on a 1/3
pitch, so works well on any pitches that are separated like this for football. It also does not require any pre-determined lines - but does require throw-down strips to mark out
"scoring zones". The final benefit is that the format can be played with or without goalkeepers, and either 5, 6 or 7-a-side, and introduces the concept of 1 v 1 challenges rather
than Penalty Corners. For more details contact [email protected], or to discuss how this format might benefit you as a club, get in touch with your Club Development
Manager.
