North Hockey Association


The North Hockey Association runs hockey leagues based in the North of England. It feeds teams into the Men's and Women's England Hockey Leagues and takes teams from sub-regional leagues, such as the Yorkshire Hockey Association.

League Structure

As with most field hockey leagues, it has separate male and female competitions. Both male and female systems consist of a Premier Division, Division 1 and Division 2. In the male competition, there are two separate Division 2s, split geographically into East and West. For the female competition, there are four separate Division 2s, split geographically into North East, South East, South West and North West.

Counties and Associations

The North Hockey Association consists of seven Counties and Associations.
Promotion to, and relegation from, the regional 2nd Divisions occurs with the following feeder leagues:
