Strategy | values | england hockey

Values uphold and protect our sense of fairness and help define how we behave with each other both on and off the pitch. Whilst the rules of the game may change and evolve, the inherent

values of our game (whether written down or not) largely remain the same; how we talk to each other, treat each other with respect, act with integrity, behave in our community, involve

others and see hockey as a force for good in society. You might say it is how you can spot a “hockey” person. We wanted to articulate those values and behaviours that are seen, heard and

felt; that you have told us are important. They are not rules, but they are a guide, a moral compass, what we can expect of each other in every aspect of the game; whether you are crossing

the white line with stick in hand, coaching, running your club or running the governing body. COLLABORATE INCLUSIVELY. * We allow everyone to bring their whole self to work and play * We
