Welcome to Men's Hockey!
We have two very competitive teams in leagues that play in the south of England and that travel into London too. Our First team was recently promoted to South Eastern Tier 1.
However, we do cater for all abilities, from players playing high-level hockey at a national level to people who have never played before.
Training is on Monday evenings, and anyone is welcome to try it out. We train and play on the pitches at Polo Farm, which are some of the best facilities in the country. There is a free Suttel bus that can take you to Polo Farm, which is operated by the University and runs from Old Seasons House.
We are coached by Canterbury HC 1st team player Chris Laslett.
Men's hockey is an enclusive club to all. We are a tight knit group, that become like a second family, that take part in activities both on and off the pitch.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us on our email or across our social media accounts.
