England Hockey is launching a brand NEW summer offer including summer leagues and knockout competitions, perfect for both current and new players that love to play in a relaxed, fun social environment.

The England Hockey Summer Champs will have three options for people to play in:

• Hockey Small Sided Leagues (six-a-side)
• National Sixes Championships (six-a-side)
• Masters KO Championships (O30s)

COWHC are currently considering which of these competitions to enter. Over the next few weeks We will start to collect names of people that are interested in playing in the different competitions before We decide which ones to enter. Please read the below details and decide whether you would be interested in playing in any of the competitions.

Hockey Small Sided Leagues (six-a-side)
Looking for a fun, social yet competitive form of hockey outside of the regular season? Then this could well be for you.

The leagues will be locally organised and there will be separate men's and women's matches using a six-a-side format that was successfully trialled during HockeyFest on Tour. The leagues will be round robin and hosted at clubs/venues where the infrastructure for small sided games and social facilities already exist - these will be determined once we know which teams have entered.

The matches themselves will run on midweek evenings over a four week period in June/early July 2018.

National Sixes Championships (six-a-side)
This championship is perfect for both keen hockey players and those more occasional players looking for an enjoyable competitive activity.

Starting regionally and with the chance to progress to 'Area' and 'National' finals, there will be separate men's and women's knockout championships. The fixtures will be played across three Sundays in June and July 2018.

Masters KO Championships
This tournament is perfect for those masters players who want a new activity without the need and challenges of playing two games per weekend in the regular season.

Currently there will be an 11-a-side tournament run for O30s but additional groups may be added if supported by clubs.

Starting regionally and with the chance to progress to 'Area' and 'National' finals, there will be separate men's and women's knockout championships. Matches will be played on midweek evenings or Sundays from late May to mid July, with the 'Area' and 'National' finals all being played on Sundays.
