Membership

To play for our club, league rules state that you should be registered with England Hockey, which is done using their GMS (Games Management System).

OVER 18's can register themselves.

UNDER 18's will need to have their Parent/Guardian register first, then add the child as a relation.

Each week, team managers are required - by England Hockey - to confirm who is playing in the match, so please get registered - instructions below.

1. Visit this website (gms.englandhockey.co.uk).
2. Click the link to register for GMS.
3. For the first drop-down, set your sport to Hockey.
4. From the 2nd drop-down, select Player.
5. A new field will appear where you can enter your email address.
6. Click Proceed.
7. A 6-digit verification code will be sent your email address (it takes a minute or two to arrive) - enter this code into the box provided on GMS..
8. Complete all the fields, selecting Kirkby Lonsdale HC from the final drop-down, which will trigger an email to our club administrator to verify your application.
