2. Getting Started

All new starters are invited to attend two taster sessions.

If you love hockey and want more, your parent/carer will need to help you join the club.

There are a few parts to registration:

• Create an account through our Pitchero website. Parents/carers will need to register themselves as the parent and add their child in their age category (U8/U10/U12/U14). A PDF screenshot guide is available here.
• England Hockey require all players to register with their Game Management System (GMS). GMS is a system that records hockey matches in England; when registering a youth player, the parent/carer has to again register themselves first and then add the child as a dependent. More information about GMS is available on England Hockey's website.
• Finally, we record all hockey related injuries using a digital platform, SportSmart. The programme enables effective risk management and injury prevention for sports and PE in school. When you register your child with the club, we will add them to the platform.
