Hockey
Hockey or "field hockey" as it is also known is an eleven a side game played usually on an all weather pitch. Each player has a stick with a rounded head to play the ball with the ultimate aim of scoring goals by putting the ball in the other team's goal. The rules of hockey are very similar to the rules of football except that players must use sticks instead of their feet to play the ball. There are a number of adaptations of the game to suit players of all ages of abilities including 'Hockey Zone' for girls and boys, both disabled (suitable for electric wheelchair users, manual wheelchair users, ambulant and semi-ambulant youngsters) or non-disabled, can participate side by side in what is a high scoring, fast moving, fun game of hockey.
