Zone Hockey

Zone Hockey was originally developed via action research methods as an adapted version of hockey.

It was then adopted by the Youth Sport Trust and included as one of the new dynamic sports for their SportSability 2 programme.

The development of the finer details of the game in the community was due to the work carried out by England Hockey who have:

• adopted Zone Hockey as an official special needs developmental game
• published a booklet on the game, which includes a set of rules
• appointed a Zone Hockey Development Officer in Birmingham.

Other supporting partners involved in the early phase included:

• Disability Sport England
• British Wheelchair Sports Foundation
• Anne Cradock and pupils at the Wilson Stuart School, Birmingham.
