A Message From Our Chairs
We are the University of Surrey Hockey Club and are currently one of the largest clubs at the University. We provide a welcoming and diverse environment where competition, socials and *OCOL thrive. (*One Club One Love). We have five BUCs teams, consisting of 3 Ladies teams and 2 Men’s teams, as well as a Mixed team, Small sided hockey and charity tournaments. This ensures there is something for everyone to get involved in and all capabilities are catered for. We are so excited for another year of hockey, with pre-season in September and the BUCs league beginning in October as normal. We also plan on running friendlies with neighbouring University clubs in the run up for BUCs beginning, as well as Small Sided for those just beginning hockey or who want to play in a less competitive setting. The UOSHC is strongly associated with Team Surrey Spartans, a Saturday league club based at Surrey Sports Park. We encourage our members to get involved with Spartans as this really gives our players the opportunity to both train and play more matches. Spartans also gives our members the opportunity to play with members of the local community and against different teams. Our BUCs teams benefit greatly from this in both game play and fitness.
Along with playing hockey, another huge aspect of the club is the social side. Every Wednesday night we have our weekly club social that everyone from all teams can get involved with. The social aspect of the club is an amazing way to make great friends and really find an inclusive family environment at university. As a club we like to try and support charities and the local community and do so by encouraging our members to help out at various different volunteering events and opportunities. In the past our members have also gained great enjoyment and satisfaction in being able to help make a difference. We are so excited to be getting life back to normal this year (whatever normal is) and can’t wait to welcome new members as well as old into our club and allow them to get the full UOSHC hockey experience. Throughout preseason and the year we will be contactable at jl01721@surrey.ac.uk or al01171@surrey.ac.uk
