With effect from 6th September 2021 every hockey player playing league or cup hockey must be registered with England Hockey. Unless you are registered you cannot play.

This EH registration requirement is in addition to registering with the club.

Players Over 18

1. Go to https://gms.englandhockey.co.uk and click ‘Register’
2. Select ‘player’, add your details and select your club (get this right!)
3. You’ll get a code sent so you can proceed
4. Complete your full profile
5. Wait for approval from your club

All club players must sign up to GMS if they are going to play in competitions organised on GMS. This includes all adult league matches and junior competitions that are run via GMS. The system will start to form a player’s hockey history across all the games they play for any team or club in hockey.

This is also the method for team officials for matches, eg coach, manager, sports therapist, to sign up.

For more details please follow this link to the EH Game Management System page.

The requirement is part of the “Structure Fit for the Future” initiative.

Please do not delay as each registration has to be authorised individually by a club volunteer and we have over 600 members.

EH are apologetic about the late notice and the system failures earlier this week.
