First played in preparation for the 2014 Youth Olympic Games, Hockey5s is a super-fast, highly skillful, short format of hockey that is designed to be adaptable to multiple surfaces, environments and spaces.
Hockey5s is an invasion game played between two teams with 4 field players and a goalkeeper.
Since its inception in 2014, it has been quickly adopted by many nations in search of an outdoor short format of hockey.
Hockey5s incorporates all the skills and game principles of hockey. With fewer players, less space and rebound boards on all 4 sides of the court, Hockey5s also presents a range of different tactical options to other formats.
Whilst there are specific requirements for playing surface and equipment at an elite level, the guiding philosophy of Hockey5s is its adaptability for grassroots development.
