6. Junior Leagues Junior Leagues U18 16 & 14 Tier 1 U18 16 & 14 Tier 1 Tier 1 - U18 Play within league remain at Area level No Supra League at this age group Travel across the whole Area Tier 1 - U16 Direct entry to England Hockey and a nationally led league playing from September through to Supra League and knockout competitions for those who fail to progress to the Supra League. This replaces the Tier 1 Area / Supra League format and KO Championship that was run last year. If you have any questions or queries regarding this, please don t hesitate to contact junior.competitions@englandhockey.co.uk Tier 1 - U14 U14 Play in Area leagues pre-Christmas. Post-Christmas - currently top 3 teams for both genders go through to Supra League to represent the West. Remaining U14 / U16 teams form a Tier 1B with the potential of a couple of the stronger teams from Tier 2 joining them. This will increase travel after Christmas.

7. Guidance for Tiers Guidance for Tiers Tier Tier Guidelines Guidelines Tier 1 A good team with talent players (NAGS/PC/AC) this should be where any club that is showing interest in becoming a talent centre should be competing (both genders and multiple age groups). Travel potentially across the whole West Area and possibly beyond. Tier 2 A competitive side who are looking for good opposition for competitive games. Travel more likely to be based around the north/south of the West Area. Travel could increase in the latter staged of the league. Tier 3 A newly formed junior side or section looking for their first games competitively (this could be a clubs 2 s 3 s 4 s depending on the size of the club etc. Local travel only with limited travel even at play off stages. Tier 4 Counties to organise. A growing junior section or new junior section. This is likely to be 7 a side or similar as they don t have enough for a full team. Very informal learning environment. Probably no need for results to be recorded.

8. Before entering Clubs need to consider the following Before entering Clubs need to consider the following. All members involved with their Junior league team to read the EH junior regulations thoroughly. Clubs to enter the correct Tier for the standard of their team.
