Counties Manukau Junior Hockey

Handbook

Vision- The best regional hockey association in the country led by sustainable programs and

pathways, a strong community profile and appropriate facilities.


Getting the Most from Junior Hockey

Counties Manukau Hockey’s aim is for all children involved in Junior Hockey to develop their individual and team skills, share the enjoyment of taking part in a team game and build a long term enthusiasm for Hockey.

Success in Junior Hockey should be measured in three ways – the improvement in players individual and team skills, the building of the player’s self-esteem and the outcome of the games.

Wanting to win and learning how to win are important aspects of the development of Junior Hockey players but these aspects must be kept in perspective and not allowed to take precedence over the building of the skill and self-esteem of the players.

Young players will get the most out of their Junior Hockey if a balance of these objectives is achieved by:

Regarding competition as another part of training

Extra players being played as rolling substitutes not reserves, giving all players equal game time – irrespective of the closeness of the game.

All players being played in a number of positions over the season to develop their versatility (this is particularly important in Fun Sticks, Mini Sticks and Kiwi Sticks).

Using tactics which develop players’ individual and team skills.

Recognising each player’s achievements, in their own terms, irrespective of the outcome of the game.

If the ball goes over the backline the defender starts play again from the top of the scoring line.

No children registered in this grade may play up into a higher grade.

No children registered in this grade are allowed to play across the grade.

GAME TIME

Children at this age can do a range of activities in which they run and play, practice motor skills

and can be introduced to the safe use of a hockey stick. Basic skill development is important in

order to play safely; however, their attention span can often be short. At this age exercises are

both with and without sticks and balls.


Mini Sticks - Year 3 & 4 - Under 9 SIX-A-SIDE

TEAM: 8-10 members FIELD SIZE: 1/4 of a hockey turf

INCLUDES:

Concepts of attacking, defending and basic rules are introduced

A goal is scored when the ball is pushed into the goal from inside the 10 metre zone.



No Children registered in this grade may play down to a lower grade

Two Grades Red & Black (Black – First year Player)(Red – Experienced Player)

Game Time

Children at this age still find it difficult to concentrate for a vast period of time. However, this is the ideal learning age, with their physique and co-ordination being perfectly suited to learn a wide range of new techniques. In games of 6v6, children are now asked to use their team mates, rather than playing alone. The use of space on the playing field should be introduced, avoiding all players swarming around the ball! Rotate your players, so that they all get a sense of tacking and defending.


Kiwi Sticks - Year 5 & 6 - Under 11

Team dynamics; decision making; defensive and attacking concepts; positional understanding and concepts of space

If goalkeepers are used they must be wearing full protective gear.




Two Grades Red & Black (Black – First year Player)(Red – Experienced Player)

Game time The children in this age category have good coordination skills, and are usually willing to learn. Technical skills should be more advanced than in the younger age group. Expand on what has already been learnt. Player positions should still be rotated, with players being taught the roles of each position. Retaining possession should be encouraged, utilising the width of the field. Individuals understand the concept of achieving an individual goal for the game developed. Team strategies can be developed to encourage structure and the use of the space on the full.


Kwik Sticks - Year 7 & 8 - Under 13 ELEVEN-A-SIDE Full Field TEAM: 13-16 members INCLUDES:

Team dynamics; decision making; defensive and attacking concepts; positional understanding and concepts of space

Game Time

The children in this age category are ready to be introduced for full field hockey. Players are exposed to advanced technical skills and will learn by repetition. Player positions may become more specialised, with position specific skills being

developed. Team strategies can be developed to encourage structure and the use of the space on the full.


Game Duration On Saturdays the hockey turfs are used from 8.00am through to 1.00pm. It is important that games are started and finished on time.

If teams are not playing within 5 minutes of the scheduled starting time the side at fault will default the game.

A default game score will be recorded as 3- 0.

The time slot for each Junior Hockey game, in all Divisions is 55 minutes.

This must be strictly adhered to.

The 45 minutes should be used as follows (except for Fun Sticks grade):

1 Minute - to get on the turf and get started 25 Minute first half

3 Minutes half time 25 Minutes second half 1 Minute to get off the turf

If there are delays in getting the game started or at half time the playing time must be shortened accordingly.

Teams must be coached to run to their “huddle” on the sideline immediately after the final whistle goes and complete their cheers and handshakes promptly.

ALL GAMES MUST FINISH SO THAT ALL PLAYERS ARE CLEAR OF THE TURF BY THE STIPULATED TIME.

NO EXCEPTIONS

Time Keeping: The Official Time, in declining order of priority is:

The sound of the hooter, if used.

Umpiring

Small Sticks Umpire Programme (“SSUP”) is being run, junior umpires will be provided to as many grades and games as possible if there are not enough umpires available all teams must be ready to supply an umpire for their game. It is essential that all umpires are consistent in their rulings, giving both sides an equal opportunity.

SSUP is run in conjunction with the Junior Hockey Competition. This programme is targeted at all junior umpires, so they can commence their umpiring pathway.

To enrol in the programme contact the CMHA Office at [email protected]

or phone 09 238 3120.

Equipment You will need a good whistle, an accurate watch and clothing (or bib) that is a different colour from the two teams – Contact CMHA regarding these items.

Co-operation Talk to the other umpire before your game, ideally 5 minutes before it starts, to ensure that you have a common understanding of the rules and Guidelines for Junior Hockey, particularly with respect to danger and what is a lifted ball. It is important that these Rules and Guidelines are applied consistently by both umpires throughout the game.
