Rules Updates 2025 - Face Masks
Following correspondence from FIH and an email from Hockey Australia, SEHA Board has determined that in our 2025 SEHA Womens and Junior Competitions (Outdoor) and 2025 SEHA Indoor competitions we strongly recommend the wearing of face masks by player defenders when defending Penalty Corners.
The wearing of face masks when defending penalty corners will be mandatory in SEHA 2026 competitions. The delay is to allow clubs and players the opportunity to purchase this protective equipment. Take the opportunity to equip yourself and your players as soon as possible.
Please Note: This ruling is for SEHA run competitions only.
If you are umpiring or playing across competitions, please make sure you are aware of the playing and umpiring conditions in each competition.
