New Competition Rules

Two new rule changes are being enforced from the start of the Wellington Season.  FIH have published the full set of rules on their website at http://www.fihockey.org/vsite/vfile/page/fileurl/0,11040,1181-195549-212772-148180-0-file,00.pdf  While the new rules will be enforced from 1 May, Wellington Hockey have agreed to apply these rules from the start of the 2009 competition (for all grades).

Hockey New Zealand have produced a supplement to these changes - supplementary information

USA Field Hockey have also produced a very useful set of questions and answers which will assist your understanding of these rule changes.

If you would like a member of the Umpire's Advisory Council to meet with your club to talk over the new rules please contact Anne-Margaret by email annemargaret@wellingtonhockey.org.nz
