IAPS 2016-2017 Sports Programme Saw 23,500 Children Participate in 110 Events Across 26

IAPS U11

IAPS 2016-2017 sports programme saw 23,500 children participate in 110 events across 26 different sports. The 2017-2018 programme will see 131 events organised. From team sports including Hockey, Netball, Football and Rugby, to individual sports including Triathlon, Skiing, Clay Pigeon Shooting, Judo and Fencing, there really is something for everyone.

Welcome to an IAPS hockey qualifier. Our competitions are growing every year. This year there will be 7 qualifying rounds in the U11 competition and 6 qualifying rounds in the U13 competition.

After consultation with England Hockey and to ensure consistency across the country, IAPS has created the draws this year for each qualifying round. England Hockey recommend that U11 children should not play more than 90 mins of hockey per day and U13 children should not play more than 105 mins of hockey per day. This has been reflected in the draws.

Whether this is your first time at an IAPS event or you have entered for many years, we hope your team enjoys the tournament. IAPS passionately believes in the importance of sport as part of an all-round education for its pupils. First and foremost, sport is about participation and enjoyment.

Good Luck!

West IAPS Reginal Tournament 23/2/18

The tournament this year consists of 18 teams competing in 4 pools. Following the morning games, the top 2 teams will go through to the Cup Competition, the 3rd and 4th placed teams into to the Plate Competition. The 5th placed team are free to go home.

Due to there being a different number of teams in the pools,Pool A and B will play three 18 minute matches (two halves of 8 mins with 2 minute half time). Pools Cand D will play four 12 minutes one-way matches. All teams will therefore play 48 minutes in the pools. The quarters, semis, final and play off matches will be 10 minutes each way. In these latter matches, draws will be followed by 5 mins “golden goal” extra time, followed by a barrage of 3 penalty strokes if scores are still level.
