The Stix Awards are a series of six exercises designed by England Hockey to measure individual skills to a national standard.  We have added our own 'Star' rating to indicate each players score within the four grades:

Cub: Up to 107 points

Bronze: 108 to 134 points

Silver: 135 to 159 points

Gold: 160 or more points

In 2006 we introduced 'Mini Stix' for the U8 age group which are four modified exercises for the youngest players.

Everyone who completes the Award receives a certificate at our annual Presentation Evening held on the Saturday of the Festival weekend.  Prizes are also awarded for the top score and most improved from the previous year.
