Registration for ALL players for next season (2009/2010) will take place on Monday 18th May and Wednesday 20th May 2009 during training sessions.  Training will carry on as normal.

Registration procedures are the same as last year.  You will be asked to confirm that details on your Master Registration Form are correct i.e. same address and telephone number.  If there are no changes, you will be asked to pay an EIHA Registration Fee.  All junior players under the age of 16 will need to pay £40 and all youth players under the age of 18 will need to pay £50.

Please also note that fees for this season (2008/2009) need to be paid up before Registration night.  You will not be able to register a player if you are in arrears this season and subsequently players will not be able to train if they are not registered.

This will be held on Sunday 31st May 2009 from 4.30 pm to 8.00 pm at the Lee Valley Ice Rink. Tickets will be on sale shortly, which you can purchase from your Team Manager, for £6.00.  This will include food and drink.

Please ensure that you keep this date free and we look forward to seeing on the night.

The standard for playing for the South-East teams is very high and the competition for inclusion is intense. Our Head Coach, Eddie Joseph , has the final say on any player that is  nominated to attend the trials that generally take place in August and September each year. Inclusion in one year will not automatically guarantee inclusion the following year.

Each trial costs £10. If a player is successful they will be invited back for a 2nd trial. After each stage the player will receive a letter telling them if they have been successful or not.

South East Training usually takes place at Haringey on a Friday night from 11.15pm-12.45am! Each training session costs £10 which is paid on each evening. Players can be dropped at any stage from the squad. The sessions are intense and it is worth remembering the time of each session before you agree to the process. The players have to be at the rink at 10.15 pm and lateness is not tolerated.

Further expense during the year includes a new tracksuit, a new shirt and socks and trips to Finland and Hull. It will add up very quickly.

I want to stress that the final decision to nominate any of our players rests with Eddie Joseph, in conjunction with the relevant age team coach.

You cannot apply directly to the South-East Team Manager.
