Ground Care
We all play most of our hockey on the MHS ground. To keep it in the best condition, there are a few things we need to be aware of:
Footwear: There are some sports shoes that can damage the ground. Typically, these are shoes with blades for grip. If you are about to buy a new pair of hockey shoes, please check to make sure they are allowed on the ground. There should be some signs going up shortly to describe which shoes are banned from the ground. In the meantime, if anyone has any questions they can ask at the School Sports Centre, or email to huw_g_evans@yahoo.com & we'll get it checked out. Be aware some shoes are marketed as "hockey" shoes, but they might still be banned on the synthetic grounds.
Traffic: The less traffic on the ground, the longer it'll last & the better it will play. Therefore only foot traffic is allowed on the ground - i.e. no bicycles, scooters, segways etc... Bicycles are not permitted to be parked on the ground.
Safety: We all want a safe ground, so ensure gates stay closed to catch stray balls. Also, children should not be inside the fenced area of the ground during a game, or during practice.
Litter: Ensure all litter is either put in a bin, or taken from the ground. The bins at MHS are mixed, so you can happily throw your bottles & cans in with the rest of the junk. MHS pay someone to take the rubbish away & sort it off site (sounds like a great job!).
