Indoor Hockey
Indoor hockey is played during the field hockey off - season from October - March. Indoor is played on smaller, indoor courts which means it’s faster, more touches, more exciting and safer.
Hockey Queensland run State Championships for indoor hockey through November and December from U13 - Masters.

Indoor field hockey, or indoor hockey, is an indoor variant of “traditional” outdoor field hockey. It is not to be confused with other indoor hockey variants such as rink hockey or floorball, which are not related to regular hockey.
It is traditionally and mainly played as a pastime by outdoor field hockey players during the off-season, when outdoor pitches are frozen or, alternatively, when conditions are too hot for outdoor play. It is an excellent way to improve fitness and stick skills because of its intensity and the smaller space it is played in.
Indoor hockey differs from outdoor hockey in a number of ways. There are fewer players in an indoor hockey team with teams comprising a maximum of 12 players with only five, including the goalkeeper, allowed on the pitch at any one time and up to seven substitutes. The field of play is much smaller, a hard surface in a sports hall or similar venue, with boards along the sidelines that prevent the ball from going out of play at the side.
