First full training sessions of the new season: Monday 29th September 2025.
- ALL sessions (Give it a Go and normal scheduled Club sessions) take place at the Roger Bettles Sports Centre Astro, Oadby.
TRAVEL:
If your accomodation is in Oadby already, it will be a 5 minute walk to the Sports Centre.
If you are travelling from City accomodation, the University shuttle bus can take you from the Freeman's Common stop (or any others on the route past the University) to the Village. The last stop on the circuit in the Village will drop you outside the John Foster Village reception which you can then walk to the pitch from (5 minutes).
If you have any concerns or queries about travel/attending the Give it a Go sessions and/or normal training do not hesitate to message any of the committee members (contacts at the bottom) and we will be happy to help!
About us:
Our hockey club is an inclusive and friendly place. We strive for performance, whilst making sure to value the fun in hockey.
Competetively, both the Mens and Ladies sections of the club have first and second teams that compete in BUCS Wednesday matches. For further training and competitive opportunities, many players within the club also participate in the local Midlands League as part of a partnership with Leicester Hockey Club.
In addition to our games and training, we have plenty of socials. We have themed weekly Wednesday socials, as well as a variety of special events, including charity tournaments, awards evenings and the end of season Hockey Ball. Internal club socials allow for tighther club and team bonds, but we also join forces with other Team Leicester societies throughout the year which have been some of the best in recent years! If you're not a big drinker, you're always encouraged and welcome to particiate in the social life of the club, as many of our non-drinking members already do, and we have plenty of more opportunities for relaxed socials, such as Leicesters Tigers games and climbing socials.
We pride ourselves on creating a welcoming and fun-loving environment that feels like a family, providing an opportunity to make friends for life! The Hockey Club is for anyone who wants to meet a group of like-minded individuals who share a passion for the sport, have a great time and maximise their uni experience.
Annually, the Hockey Club participates in the Bournemouth 7s festival which is a great opportunity to meet new people and have an absolute blast! This has been a highlight for many within the club.
Outside of hockey, we partake in the Netball Campus League (an internal University competition made up of various sports club and society teams), with both the Mens and Ladies coming together to socialise and compete. Previously, we won the league and last year 24/25 we placed in the top 5 of 16 teams.
To stay updated and for further information, look to the Campus league Netball Instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/campus.league_ulnc?igsh=MXhmYXBpbms1ODhwaw==
No matter your ability or age, we'd love you to join and give hockey a go!
