Disability Inclusion formats of hockey
Walking Hockey is a modified version of traditional hockey, where participants can only walk. The 5-a-side game is also modified with a softer ball, smaller field and simpler rules to increase engagement and enjoyment of the game.
Inclusive Hookin2Hockey or All Abilities Hockey is a format based on the FIH’s Hockey ID. This can be modified to suit all participants.
FIH's Hockey ID is a complementary version of the sport for participants with an Intellectual Disability. Hockey Australia encourages the use of these rules in any modified hockey format for people with disability.
