Disciplinary matters for which the Area is responsible are dealt with by the Area Disciplinary Panel.
The Area Disciplinary Panel is primarily responsible for dealing with any Red Card that is issued to a team member for a club based within the Area’s jurisdiction.
The Area Disciplinary Panel consists of the Area Disciplinary Administrator and a number of Assistant Area Disciplinary Administrators.
Effective from our London Area AGM 2025, the Area Disciplinary Administrator, and Chair of the Area Disciplinary Panel, is Richard Chere who can be contacted at discipline@london.hockey or by telephone on 07818 027885.
The ADA is currently supported by two AADA's; Marilyn Walker and Björn Schwarz.
To cover workload and potential conflicts of interest, we are open to adding further AADA panel members - please contact either Richard or Mark Bennett (Director of Governance) to discuss your interest in the first instance.
Appeals
There is a revised Appeals process and more limited grounds of appeal under the new England Hockey Disciplinary Regulations. Appeals from the decisions of the Area Disciplinary Panel are now determined by the England Hockey Disciplinary Panel.
