The NoDe league is a mini league based around Nottingham & Derby. The area is currently from Newark to Buxton, Burton to Bingham. The principle is to give young players a chance to play competitive games, but without the pressure of a league table, so results are not recorded.
The Matches: * Mini Hockey rules 7-a-side shall be played or adapted to the pitch markings. * MINI U11 boys/U12 girls. * JUNIOR U13 boys/U14 girls. * Normally mixed, but single-gender teams are permitted. * Clubs shall provide an umpire unless the host club has agreed to provide them. * Sequence of games shall be arranged to be favourable to teams travelling the furthest distance. * Each game will be timed according to available pitch time; attempt 20 minutes each game minimum. (Preferably 10min each way)
These games are purely for fun and tabulating results unimportant, the benefit is providing competitive matches for young players; use this opportunity to offer matches to players of all abilities and match your opponents.

Games are played at two age groups, Junior & Mini, which have separate fixtures. These take place on Sundays, once a month for each age group between October and April. The emphasis is on fun and just getting a game, so teams are expected to balance their sides to make it fair wherever possible – 10-0 thrashings are not productive for anyone. There are no strict league rules; the basics are outlined below, but keeping within the spirit is the main idea. The fixtures are issued sometime during August, so team entries need to be with the coordinator by the beginning of July. You can enter at one or both age groups.
