The 7-a-side Hockey game, played at Under 13 and below, provides an introduction to the game for most young players. This is the stage at which a sound foundation of basic skills and game understanding is established. Although many of the techniques are similar to the full game, the tactical implications of a smaller pitch demand an alternative approach. The abbreviated game also allows opportunities to introduce tactical dimensions that will continue into the 11 a side game, such as strategies for long corners, hits around the circle and the self pass.
