A bit about the competition

In 2016 and 2017 England Hockey consulted with clubs and schools about its annual programme of competitions. 

One of the key messages we heard the most was the need to provide appropriate competition depending on a team’s ability. This is particularly relevant to our school's competitions where up until 2018/19 all schools entered the same level of competition, whatever their level of hockey activity or ability.

England Hockey successfully introduced tiered Championships for clubs – adults, masters and juniors - in the 2017/18 season. In 2018/19 we introduced tiered Schools Championships. 

These Championships provide different levels of competitive opportunities for schools. England Hockey will provide guidance on which Tier may suit which level of school team, however, this can only be guidance, and within any Tier, there may still be teams of variable experience and ability.

The competitions offer includes ones based on the traditional County competitions, leading to Regional and National finals, knockout competitions and, at U18 level, a two-term league for high-performing schools specialising in hockey.
