Hi Everyone,

We’re thrilled that England Hockey have finally announced that hockey can return from 29 March straight into the ‘Play - Step 4’ phase of their original Covid-19 roadmap. As of the 29th March, the government safer travel advice does not allow for car sharing to take place. This means we can train, play intra-club and local matches and summer league (adhering to COVID rules set out by England Hockey at all times). For further reading, please see the England Hockey guidance here:
https://www.englandhockey.co.uk/deliver/covid-19-guidance

With respect to intra-club hockey, the committee have had some long discussions and have agreed that Isca HC will be offering hockey throughout April (until Summer league starts) as part of this season, rather than on a per per play basis (as previously mentioned). This will primarily involve weekday hockey sessions (that will consist of predominantly game play) and we ask that you please attend in the squad you trained with this season. If you plan on attending, it is essential that you fill out the England Hockey ‘Individual consent for participating in hockey under Covid-19 restrictions’ form. If you have already done this once this season for Isca, you do not need to do this again.

We’ve added Friday night mixed sessions to the usual bill upon request from our adult members during April. These sessions will purely be mixed games, so if you’re over 18 and interested please feel free to turn up & play. The latest information we have going forwards is that the womens and mixed summer leagues will go ahead as in previous seasons (with the mixed tournament starting late April), but may well be played at the university pitches rather than elsewhere in Exeter.
