What is Zone Hockey?
Zone Hockey is a five/six-a-side game in which all students, mainstream or students with disability can participate side by side in what is a high scoring, fast moving, fun game of hockey. The game is suitable for electric wheelchair users, manual wheelchair users, ambulant and semi-ambulant students. It was developed by Nottingham Trent University as part of Project Adapted.
The Zone Hockey unit has been adapted from the Australian Sports Commision's Sports Ability Playing Cards.
