Building Your Hockey History: A New Game Management System for Hockey.

Alongside the ‘Structure Fit for the Future’ changes that are well underway, England Hockey has been working behind the scenes to develop a new "Game Management System" for hockey. This does not replace your existing club management system here on Pitchero.

The aim is that the sport can start to create the digital history for a player that enhances the experience of hockey will begin by taking the first steps to introduce a common platform for fixtures and results.

The GMS will form the heart of much of the game administration in the sport between club and competition administrators for years to come.

The biggest impact will be to the following administration areas/processes :-

Competition/League Administrator – people who run junior, adult or masters’ competitions such as leagues, cups or local festivals – usually Area or County (Sub Area) representatives.
Club Administrator – key club committee members such as Club Administrator, Fixtures Secretary, or Membership Secretary. Responsible for managing the main club admin (eg approving players and officials joining and leaving the club, updating fixture details.)
Team Administrator – Team Captains and/or Managers responsible for managing the admin around match sheets and game results.

What does it mean to each individual - then read the following section for players.

The web pages here are a summary extract and describe specifically how it affects our club members and fixtures admin processes. The document attached below is a detailed explanation of the whole system and all the aspects of the new competition processes.
