Hall Sport

Hall Sport (also known as IMS), is a free programme and a great way to enjoy hockey, socialise with friends and get the most out of your hall experience.

Anyone attending training sessions, or selected for an AU squad is not eligible to play IMS.

Please note that IMS hockey is played to a 7-a-side, half pitch format.
