Hockey

Hockey has always been a popular inclusion at the School Games and returned again this year with another intriguing tournament that provided plenty of action.

Hockey is fast, furious, and physically demanding team sport. Squads consist of 18 players, with 11 players on the pitch at one time and rolling subs. Matches consist of four periods of 15 minutes, with the team scoring the most goals winning. 

It is one of the most participated sports in the country and is a great way to develop social, team, and communication skills. It’s not just fun to play, it’s also a rapidly growing spectator sport. 

England hosted the women's Hockey World Cup in July 2018 and were among the favourites to claim victory after Team GB's success at Rio two summers before. A thrilling penalty shoot-out victory over the Netherlands saw the team claim gold in Brazil, four years after taking bronze in London. 

It was only the British team's fourth field hockey success at the Summer Olympics following victories for the men in 1908 (as England), 1920 and 1988.
