England Hockey Games Management System
At last the England Hockey Games Management System is almost up and running and they have now finally opened up Player registration.

Soon we will be returning to inputting match sheets on this GMS system so we need everyone to register. If you aren't registered, you CANNOT play.
This is going to be quite a large task for us to get everyone registered so please start registering yourself as soon as possible.

Everyone that plays in a Men's team or Ladies' team needs to register as soon as possible to allow me time to Approve everyone and get you all set up so that you can be put onto match sheets when England Hockey start enforcing them. We do not need any fines

How are juniors managed e.g. through purely parental registration for all U18s or is there a lower age limit as the CM providers have? - Any young person under the age of 18 is considered a junior and will need parents/ guardians to register their accounts. These junior accounts will be linked to the parents/guardian’s one, as a point in principle to comply with Safeguarding Regulations. Once they turn 18, they can take direct control of their account.
