Playing in multiple teams

A player can only be registered with one team in the Competition. Players registered for an “A” Division team may not play in “B or C” Division. Players registered for a “B” Division team may not play in “C” Division (except for goalkeepers – see 3.5).

A player registered in a “B” Division team may play up to five (5) games in “A” Division after which he will automatically be re-graded to “A” Division if he plays any further games. A player registered in a “C” Division team may play up to five (5) games in total in either “A or B” Division after which he will automatically be re-graded to the team in the Division in which he has played the 5 games or otherwise the team in the next highest Division – if he plays any further games.

Any requests for re-grading to “B or C” Division during the season must bemade in writing to the Board.

Mouthguards and Shinpads

In all competition games, training sessions, representative championships and functions conducted by or participated in by Sydney Veterans Hockey Association (SVHA), the SVHA advocates the compulsory wearing of shin pads and mouthguards for all players. Any individual player who does not wish to comply with / or refuse to wear shin pads and a mouthguard is required to complete the specifically designated Player Agreement Waiver.
