Insurance

The hockey club is only covered for public liability insurance so individuals are recommended to take out their own personal injury insurance. The hockey club is not responsible for any accidental injuries or consequential loss.

All coaches & umpires are strongly advised to take out their own third party insurance cover. All umpires and players must be registered with England Hockey.

DISCIPLINE

Any player receiving a Red card will automatically be suspended for a minimum of 16 days (or 31 days if the offence involved any violence). The suspension applies to all hockey participation. Red cards are referred to the Herts County Hockey Association (HCHA) Discipline Officer for ratification. A longer suspension may be given, but never a shorter one.
