| Age Qualifications - For all county representative, regional and national
hockey the qualifying date is based on 1 January of the season. Regional and
national seasons run Jan to Dec so this is obvious. However, for counties
the season runs across January so the qualification is based on that
mid-season January, so for 2007-8 it is 1 Jan 2008. So U14 players for Autumn 2007 will have to have
be U14 on 1 Jan 2008, ie
born 1994 or later. This does remove the previous anomaly where born
Sept-Dec could play U15 for their county but not region. For competitions that involve
school teams the age
qualification is still based upon 1 September at the start of the season, ie
school years with year 8 equating to U13 etc. |
