BIPHA is actively helping to promote this new exciting sport. It is open to any player of any ability and BIPHA would like to encourage both regions and clubs to look at ways to offer this to existing and new members.

Sledge Hockey is a variant of ice hockey using sledges to allow participants to move about the rink at high speeds whilst controlling and hitting a puck. Players sit in adapted sledges, propelling themselves with sticks adapted to allow propulsion in a manner similar to skiing. As players are strapped to a sledge everybody has the same restrictions, regardless of whether or not the player has a disability.

Based on Ice Sledge Hockey, Inline Sledge Hockey is played to the same rules as Inline Puck Hockey (essentially ice hockey played off ice using inline skates) and has been made possible by the design and manufacture of in inline sledges by RGK, Europe's premier sports wheelchair maker.

Inline Sledge Hockey
Inline Sledge Hockey is going from strength to strength.
All BSHA members are insured to play Inline Sledge Hockey.
We are also talking to the MoD about injured service personnel being given
the opportunity to play Sledge Hockey.

1st Roller Inline Hockey Veterans World Cup

Lord Roberts Centre, Bisley, Surrey,
28~30 May 2010

Why A Veteran World Cup?
Some French Friends, former good level players of Ice Hockey came to In Line Hockey around middle nineties. They would like to play and help develop this new sport. They were trainers or coaches or Club Managers. They decided to create an association with players over 40, retired from top level events. From 2001 till now they played each year before Final of Senior In Line Hockey French National Cup. In 2009, they proposed that CIRILH organize an international event for Veterans. With the help of Roller Skating Hockey CAEN a tournament was played in May 2009, with 3 French teams and a Great Britain team. As there was only two countries, it was not a world Cup. The Great Britain team enjoyed the tournament and proposed to organize a new veteran event in 2010. And they are ready to do it. We hope to join together 6 to 8 countries: the first World Veteran Inline Hockey Cup.

Where and When?
From 28 May 2010 to 30 May 2010 At BISLEY (Surrey) GU24 0NP U.K. Map

Eligibility of Teams and players
The VETERAN WORLD CUP is open to any Team of all National Federations affiliated with the FIRS provided that their National Federation gives permission to attend. Each player have to been born in 1972 or before.

Inline Sledge Hockey

World Launch Exceeds all Expectations

Inline Sledge Hockey, World Launch Exceeds all Expectations

It’s rare for a new sport to be created. It’s even rarer for it to immediately generate support and a fan base. But after the launch of Inline Sledge Hockey at Bisley on the weekend of the 19th December 2009 its clear that a Inline Sledge Hockey is going to be the future of inclusive sport.

Based on Ice Sledge Hockey (the Paralympic version of Ice Hockey), Inline Sledge Hockey is played on a sports hall using custom made sledges with wheels, using rules adapted from inline puck hockey. The game is as fast and as furious as Ice Sledge Hockey but with the advantage that it can be played anywhere and by anyone.

Three games were played over two days, the first two being between the Hull Stingrays and the Grimsby Redwings and the third being between a combined Stingrays/Redwings team and a number of Ice and Inline Hockey players, including current GB Inline Hockey players. This final game saw the Stingrays/Redwings team comfortably win by a 7 – 0 margin and demonstrated to any sceptics that Inline Sledge Hockey is a genuine physical, contact sport and not just a token nod to allowing the disabled and able bodied to play together.

WORLD LAUNCH

Lord Roberts Centre, Bisley, Surrey ~ Saturday 19 December 2009

The Ultimate Inclusive Team Sport
Inline Sledge Hockey Launch: 19th December 2009

In partnership with RGK, Hull Stingrays Elite League Ice Hockey team and the British Inline Puck Hockey Association, the British Sledge Hockey Association (BSHA) is proud to announce the world launch of Inline Sledge Hockey at Lord Roberts Centre, Bisley Camp, Woking, Surrey.

Sledge Hockey is a variant of ice hockey using sledges to allow participants to move about the rink at high speeds whilst controlling and hitting a puck. Players sit in adapted sledges, propelling themselves with sticks adapted to allow propulsion in a manner similar to skiing. As players are strapped to a sledge everybody has the same restrictions, regardless of whether or not the player has a disability.

The BSHA are committed to delivering a fully inclusive community and team development programme which will allow abled bodied and disabled people to learn and compete together on equal terms in a fast and furious full contact sport. The BSHA have a number of sledges (both Inline and Ice) which can be lent out free of charge to clubs, groups and schools to allow them to experience Sledge Hockey.

Veterans Christmas Inline Hockey Tournament
Players to be 30 years and older on the first day of the tournament

Saturday 19th December 2009 & Sunday 20th December 2009
Lord Roberts Centre, Bisley, Surrey, GU24 0NP

The veteran age group is the fastest growing age group in the UK
and we are hoping that entry to this will encourage veteran inline hockey players
to dust of their skates and become active again.

The tournament is open to veteran teams from all inline hockey clubs
regardless of affiliation.

The GB Veteran Team will be entering, as will hopefully, the French National Veteran Team.

We are looking for other veteran teams to join them in an exciting Christmas Tournament.

The British Roller Sports Federation are committed to deliver
Level 2 Coach Education training to 200 coaches over the next 12 months

Any vacant places will be available to non-BIPHA applicants

The British Inline Puck Hockey Association (the BIPHA) have been successful in obtaining a
substantial grant from Sport England to assist with the cost of training every coach in every BIPHA club.

Training courses will commence in November and will continue over the next year at a number of regional venues across England.
As these venues and dates are confirmed they will be added to the Coach Education Calendar Page (here)

The British Inline Puck Hockey Association (the BIPHA) are aware that delivering generic (basic) roller skating skills in schools and leisure centres is an ideal way of introducing young people to roller skating and subsequently recruiting them to various roller disciplines, it is also a way of raising club funds. But as sports clubs are discovering, more and more schools and local authority leisure centres across the UK are demanding that peripatetic teaching staff (schools) and coaches (leisure centres) delivering coaching (of all sports) should hold coach qualifications equivalent to UKCC Level 2, additionally schools and leisure centres are often insisting that coaches also hold appropriate CRB Declarations.

With this in mind the BIPHA have recently and successfully applied for and been awarded a substantial grant to enable every coach in every BIPHA club the opportunity to attend a coach education course at a reduced cost and if successful to obtain a BRSF Level 2 Coach Education Award.
