The age where a Junior can play in an Adult League Game: In the last two seasons we have had a couple of occasions where Adult clubs have played a junior member in their teams. The excuse given by both clubs is "you don't have a rule with an age limit!" Both clubs are absolutely right and this is because England Hockey has a policy on the issue which applies to all clubs in England, it is a policy all clubs subscribe to when paying their England Hockey affiliation fees. The age when a junior can play hockey in an adult league is 13 and no earlier. Any clubs who are tempted to play a younger player should refrain and should the League Management Committee become aware serious penalties would be applied.
