Social Hockey

Our Social Hockey sessions, also known as ‘Back 2 Hockey,’ are perfect for:

• Adults returning to hockey after a break.
• Those adults looking for a fun, relaxed approach to the sport.

We don’t play competitive matches in this group, but many participants have transitioned into our Women’s and Men’s teams over time.

Session Details

• When: Every Thursday evening, 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm
• (Arrive at 7:45 pm to prepare)
• Where: St. Augustine’s (click here for directions).
• Please note, that a secure gate requires an access code—contact us for details.

After the session, we often head to a local pub for a friendly wind-down.

Who Can Join?

This mixed session is open to all adults and suitable for all skill levels, from beginners to those looking for a casual game.

Fees

• Pay-as-you-play: £7.50 per session.
• Annual social membership: £25 (payable in September for non-club members).

How to Book

All sessions must be booked and paid for in advance via our club app, Teamo.

Please note, that spaces are limited to ensure everyone has a great experience.

“If you want competitive hockey, go to training. This is social hockey, so:

1. Hard slap hits and hard hits are a foul, even if into open space. Instead, do pushes.
2. Pockets of competition are a foul. Watching good players slug it out with each other doesn’t inspire. It intimidates and demoralises. I’ll decide to whom to award the foul. 
3. Sprinting past opponents with the ball isn’t social. Sprinting into open space to receive the ball is.
4. If guidelines are being ignored, let me know so I can intervene. It’s better that ten people feel tonight’s too tame than one person feels it’s too competitive. 
5. Finally, enjoy it. It’s a chance to try new positions and skills. Maybe make up rules just for your team, e.g. “three touches”, or “a designated scorer” or whatever.

Let’s play.”
