BackInjury Reporting
England Hockey requires all affiliated clubs and organisations to report injuries in line with its Injury Reporting Policy. This is not just a procedural task it is essential for influencing positive change in the sport. Data gathered is reviewed by England Hockey and shared with the International Hockey Federation (FIH), contributing to potential rule changes, equipment reviews, and safety guidance.
England Hockey requires all clubs to complete the England Hockey online ‘Injury Monitoring Form’ and to keep their own club records via our HHC Reporting Form Any injuries sustained that require one or more of the following must be reported:
- who is removed from the field of play as a result of injury
- who reports an injury immediately after the session (after changing etc)
- who reports an injury, sustained in hockey, that prevents them taking part in other activities (i.e. if a player contacts the coach or club captain to tell them a niggle/injury has now stopped them doing other sport or activity)
- who reports an injury, sustained in hockey, that required some form of medical intervention from a practitioner
The above forms will need to be completed by captains or coaches as soon as is practical, after each incident which meets the criteria listed - whether at training or a match.
