Shenendehowa 6th Annual High School Indoor Field Hockey Tournament

Dear Field Hockey Team Captains,

Shenendehowa Central School  will be hosting its sixth annual High School Indoor Field Hockey Tournament on Saturday, February 6, 2010. It will be held on the Shenendehowa Campus at the Koda, Acadia, and Gowana gymnasiums. There will be two divisions: varsity and junior varsity. The JV division will play from 8:00 to 11:30 AM. The varsity division will play from 12:00 to 6:30 PM. These times may vary depending on the number of teams who participate.

The fee for the tournament is $150 per team (minimum of 6/maximum of 10 players). Please make checks payable to the Shenendehowa Field Hockey Booster Club and return with entry form by Tuesday, January 26, 2010. Registration is limited to one team per division/per club. Applications will be accepted on a first come/first served basis, upon receipt of the registration fee, so please respond promptly.

Because the tournament is being held on the off-season, regulations governing play under the NYSPHSAA must be followed. Players are not allowed to wear school uniforms or shirts with school logos. The teams should choose a color for their team to wear at the tournamen. Also, school names/mascot nicknames are not to be used as the team name.   A different team name should be chosen. In addition, players are responsible to have all proper equipment, which include shin guards and mouth guards. Also, coaches should bring the necessary first aid equipment, including ice, in the event of injury.

Please note: Each team must have a certificate of insurance, naming Shenendehowa Central School as additionally insured for the date of the tournament. Most coaches have obtained this from the business manager of their school district. A Medical  History/Permission form is enclosed, which all players must sign prior to participation in the tournament. In addition, a Notice of No Medical Insurance form has been enclosed. Any players without medical insurance must sign this form as well.  If possible, please send these forms prior to the tournament so that the registration process on the morning of the tournament runs smoothly. No player may participate without the appropriate forms signed.  No exceptions!! Also enclosed are the indoor tournament rules which will be followed.

We look forward to a great turnout. Please call with any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Jeanne Frevola

SUMMARY OF INDOOR FIELD HOCKEY RULES


1. Six players per side including the goalie.

2. Substitutions are unlimited. Exception-No subbing within the period from the award of a penalty corner until after it has been completed. If the substitution is made during play, the player coming off the court must exit before the sub may go on the court.

3. A goal is scored when the ball passes completely over the goal line from within the circle.

4. No hits are allowed. Stick and ball must be in contact at the start of the push pass and reverse sweep. A long pushing or sweeping stroke with the stick along the ground before making contact with the ball is not permitted. After making the push/sweep it is not permitted to follow through with the stick along the ground so that the ball is propelled directly at an opponent.

5. Dangerous play will be penalized.

6. The ball may not be lifted except as a shot on goal. An unintentionally raised ball (less than 10 cm-no higher than their shoe) is allowed unless an opponent is within playing distance, in the direct playing line or an unfair benefit has been gained.

7. On a free push, the opponents must be three meters away from the point of the push unless the ball is within three meters of the circle. In this case, all players must be three meters. The ball must be stationary.

8. On a defensive corner, only the goalie is allowed in the goal. All other defensive players must be on the opposite side of the hitter, outside the goal, and completely behind the endline.

9. When taking a penalty corner, the ball must travel outside the circle but does not need to be stopped before a shot at a goal. No subs are allowed during a penalty corner until after it has been completed.

10. A defensive sixteen yard push is taken whenever the ball goes over the endline, unless the defense intentionally plays or deflects the ball over the endline. In this case, a corner is awarded to the offense. The 16-yard push is taken inside of the circle.

11. All side walls are in play.

12. All players are required to wear mouthguards and shinguards.

13. On a center pass, the push may be played in any direction.

**These rules were taken from the FIH Indoor Hockey Rules but may have been

modified to fit the needs/safety of the participants in the Mohawk tournament.
