Hockey 5's is a new and exciting format with pathways to World Cups. It is an opportunity to get a taste for the game and develop your all round hockey ability in a fast and exciting new format. It is short and fast variant of field hockey which will reap benefits. The 5's will run as an all day programme with 25 minute games; one game on, one game off.
