Matches
As a junior at Newmarket Hockey Club you’ll be able to take part in regular tournaments with local clubs during the season. Tournament matches are split into U8, U10, & U12 age groups.
U8 and U10 teams are mixed and play England Hockey’s “Quicksticks” format. U8’s play 5-a-side on 1/8 pitch and U10’s play 6-a-side on 1/4 pitch.
U12 teams are single gender and play England Hockey’s ‘In2Hockey’ 7 a-side game on half pitches.
U14 teams is an area for development where we are in discussion with other local clubs.
What to Wear
We recommend you wear astro boots but you can wear trainers. Please note that studded football boots are not allowed on the astro turf. As a member, you will receive an NHC shirt and socks. You’ll need to wear shin pads and a gum shield – these items must be worn by all U18’s playing hockey, as stated in the England Hockey rules.
What to Bring
Bring a drink but don’t worry if you don’t have a hockey stick, we have plenty of spare ones to lend out.
