SEHA Announcement - SEHA Position Face Masks in 2026

Published Mon 10 Mar 2025
Rules Updates  - Face Masks
 
Following correspondence from FIH and an email from Hockey Australia, SEHA Board has determined that  the wearing of face masks when defending penalty corners will be mandatory in SEHA 2026 competitions.  
 
Please Note: This ruling is for SEHA run competitions only.
 
If you are umpiring or playing across competitions, please make sure you are aware of the playing and umpiring conditions in each competition.
 
This ruling will lead to more defenders wearing face masks, so please be aware that time must be allowed for the player defenders to don the face masks at a Penalty Corner. Penalty Corners should still commence as quickly as possible, as the game clock does not stop in our competitions.
