All club contacts from the current season have been emailed. If your club is no longer involved in 7-a-side hockey, feel free to disregard the message. Team entries must be submitted by your Club Prime contact via the new Hampshire.hockey website.


Important Note on Emails
Future emails will be sent through the new website, from a no-reply address. If you have any problems or questions, please respond to this current email account, not the automated messages.


How to Enter Your Teams

All team entries must be made through the new Hampshire.hockey platform.

  1. Create Your Team(s): If you haven’t already, set up your team profiles on the website.
  2. Register for the League: Once your teams are created, you can register them for the relevant leagues.

You can enter multiple teams into each league. Please make sure you use the correct and consistent team names when registering.


League Structure

U12 Leagues

  • Division 1 & Division 1B:
    These divisions follow a similar format to last season’s Girls Division 1. Both A and B teams will play at the same venue. This setup helps clubs enter higher divisions while still running a B team on the same day, making staffing and squad numbers more manageable.
  • Regional Leagues (EAST, WEST, NORTH):
    These leagues operate at Tier 2 level.

U10 Leagues

This year we’re introducing separate Boys, Girls, and Mixed leagues — a change from previous seasons. If there aren't enough teams in a particular category, we’ll be in touch with all registered teams to explore alternative solutions. The final structure will be based on the number of entries received.



Key Dates & Information

  • Entry Deadline: All team entries must be submitted by 18 July.
  • Team Confirmation: After the deadline, a full list of entered teams will be circulated for you to double-check and confirm.
  • League Start: Matches are scheduled to begin in October, following the England Hockey calendar. We’ve taken on board lessons from last season to help minimise calendar clashes.
