Quicksticks is a brand new game for 7-11 year-olds which has been specifically designed to introduce the Field Hockey to Primary School teachers and students who have little or no prior knowledge of the sport.
The field of play is the size of a standard netball court and a team consists of six players; four outfield pitch players and two ‘officials’ (one manager/coach and one umpire). All players must rotate with the two official’s roles within the game…there are NO GOALKEEPERS in the game of Quicksticks! Played in three periods (so that all players have a go at playing, managing and umpiring), one game can last up to 30 minutes for 11 year-olds. At the lower end of the scale, games can last just over 20 minutes for 7-8 year-olds.

NoDe Junior Hockey League
The NoDe league is a mini league based around Nottingham & Derby. The area is currently from Newark to Buxton, Burton to Bingham. The principle is to give young players a chance to play competitive games, but without the pressure of a league table, so results are not recorded. North Notts hockey club takes pride in the work it does with junior players throughout the surrounding areas. Together with several other clubs from the locality we aim to provide a series of organised friendly fixtures.
Please visit the NoDe web-site for full details – http://www.nodehockey.org.uk
