 The Indoor Hockey League is delighted to announce its first partnership. The Indoor Hockey League and PerfX Hockey will be working together to bring the opportunity of social, informal but competitive indoor hockey to people across the West Midlands.
The Indoor Hockey League has been established to provide an accessible, informal and sociable but competitive hockey playing opportunity. Firstly to enable those players unable to commit to traditional club hockey an opportunity to continue to engage with the sport and also to provide players; senior and junior - the opportunity to access (guaranteed dry and warm), regular and competitive indoor hockey. Established in Bristol in 2018 The Indoor Hockey League has engaged with over 500 players in its first two years before the pandemic hit. The lockdown periods provided time to evaluate and plan the future direction of The Indoor Hockey League - Essentially we decided that more people should have access to the informal, social and competitive Indoor Hockey offer that The Indoor Hockey Leagues have to offer! Stacey Androlah from The Indoor Hockey League said "It is great to finally be able to announce this partnership. It is fantastic to be working with such like minded guys at PerfX Hockey who, like us, are very focused on creating opportunities for as many people as possible to engage in the sport we love.” Stephen Williams: Director of Hockey at PerfX Hockey said “We are delighted to be partnering with The Indoor Hockey League on this incredible initiative as we look into alternative ways to have an impact on growing the sport. We are big supporters of Indoor Hockey and we believe this partnership will give us an opportunity to help grow participation within the indoor game. Furthermore, this partnership will see us remove many of the common barriers found in accessibility, reaching a much wider audience than ever before. Indoor Hockey has never been this open to all until now. We are very excited to get going in the near future.” The Indoor Hockey League - West Midlands will be starting this Spring with leagues for men and women teams. For more information please visit www.theindoorhockeyleague.co.uk/west-midlands  With positive noises coming from Government over the easing of Covid-19 restrictions in line with step 3 of the road map, The Indoor Hockey Leagues are delighted to announce that we have opened up registration for both adult and junior leagues. In partnership with Patchway Sports Centre we will be taking every necessary step to ensure that the leagues return in the safest way possible.
Adult leagues will run as normal on alternate Monday evenings for men and women at Patchway sports centre. With leagues starting on Monday 7th June. New junior leagues will run on a Friday evening from 18th June. Registrations are open for mixed U12 leagues, U14 boys and girls and U16 boys and girls. Find more info on the leagues here  From Thursday 24th September, Indoor adult (18+) team sport will no longer be exempt from the Government's rule of six. This new ruling means that the planned restart of The Indoor Hockey Leagues in Bristol has been cancelled. Teams have been informed.
However, all organised Indoor Hockey activity for children continues to exempt from the rule of six. Therefore we are delighted to announce that registration for first regular Indoor Hockey League for young players is open! The leagues will run on a Friday evening from 7pm and will be open to U12 boys, U12 girls, U14 boys and U14 girls teams. each category will play on a different week in rotation, so teams can expect to play once every four weeks. We hope that this provides enough of a regular taste for the Indoor version of the game without impinging too much of other commitments.  The Indoor Hockey League is delighted to announce that we are back and that league registration for adult men's and women's leagues are now open. Please be reassured that we have been working closely with England Hockey and our facility partners to ensure that the return of the leagues is done so with the health and well being of our players as our top priority. With this in mind, we have had to make some slight tweaks to timings, so please ensure you check the 'leagues' page for the updated information. We are looking forward to welcoming back regular participating teams alongside some newbies too! Get your registrations in asap! Hoping for leagues to start on 28th September

The inaugural Indoor Hockey League in Bristol came to a close last week with the completion of the men's league. In a closely fought competition which epitomised the spirit of the league: sociable but competitive! An unfortunate forfeit by Clifton Robinsons left the door open for Bristol Sharks to claim the top spot without even playing. Wotton ended the league well with a win over the Keynsham & Bath City team. All of the teams (which have varied in terms of indoor hockey experience ) have reported positive feedback of their experience of the league all have left wanting more.. The league will take a short break now before starting up again later in the summer - keep your eye on social media for registration details and share the love with your fellow Bristol clubs.
