How does the discipline system work at England Hockey?

There are several different discipline Regulations in hockey, depending on the nature of the offence, please see links below:

• Red Card / Match day misconduct
• Safeguarding Young People
• Anti – Doping Policy
• Disrepute Regulations – deal with breaches of the Disrepute Regulations

All hockey activity in England is covered by the Code of Ethics & Behaviour Respect.

When a player receives a red card the issue is dealt with by relevant Disciplinary Administrator, usually the County Disciplinary Administrator, but can be Regional or National depending on the competition where the incident occurred. A player receiving a red card is subject to an automatic 16 day ban from the date of the incident occurred^*

^{*16-day bans do not occur at the Futures Cup competition.}
