Well before the course please download and study the latest FIH Rules and HockeyHK Byelaws; do NOT expect the course to teach you the rules, but there will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions. A practical session will be held on the pitch so that some situations can be demonstrated.  Please bring a whistle to the course.
