Hampshire Hockey Association Launches New Website and County Management System
Hampshire Hockey Association (HHA) is pleased to announce the launch of its brand-new website.
The development of the website is closely linked to the creation of our new County Management System, a bespoke software solution designed specifically for HHA. This innovative system will provide a streamlined way to manage clubs, schools, competitions, and all related county hockey operations, ensuring a more efficient and effective service for our members.
A New Chapter for Hampshire Hockey
The need for this new system arose following the sad passing of Tex Lane, a long-standing and much-respected member of the Hampshire hockey community. Tex was not only a stalwart of Hampshire Hockey but also the developer and support behind the systems we have relied upon for many years. In the wake of his passing, we found a temporary solution to host the existing system, but it soon became apparent that the aging technology and increasing complexity made it difficult to maintain and update effectively.
Additionally, evolving privacy, security, and compliance requirements, coupled with the reorganisation of governance by England Hockey, meant that a more modern, purpose-built County Management System was essential and that is what we are now in the process of building.
What the New System Will Offer
Once completed, the County Management System will provide a comprehensive solution for managing club and school hockey administration in Hampshire. It will allow us to securely store and manage key details of club and school officials, including:
For Clubs:
- Chairperson
- Secretary
- Treasurer
- Cup Prime Contact
- Junior Prime Contact
For Schools:
- Junior Prime Contact
- Finance Contact
Club and school representatives will be able to access and update their information, organise competition entries, manage fixtures, and submit results with ease. The system will empower county administrators and organisers to efficiently manage leagues and competitions, ensuring smoother communication and coordination.
As of now, the main database and contact modules are ready, and we are inviting clubs and schools to begin entering details for their key officials. Each individual holding one of these roles will need to create their own personal profile on the system, specifying their club, school, and designated roles during registration. Multiple roles can be selected if applicable.

Looking Ahead
As this system develops, we anticipate it will become an indispensable tool for managing club and school hockey in Hampshire. Like all custom-built software solutions, there will be a period of adjustment, testing, and refinement. We ask for your patience and cooperation as we work through this process, ensuring that the system meets the needs of our hockey community.
The Hampshire Hockey Association remains committed to supporting our affiliated clubs and schools, continuously working to enhance the administration and promotion of our favourite sport. We look forward to this exciting new chapter and appreciate the ongoing support from our hockey family in Hampshire.
