About


We are one of the biggest hockey clubs in the South of England and with a total of 17 teams plus 14 junior teams, we cater for a massive range of abilities.

We currently have 9 men’s teams and 8 women’s teams, so whatever your level, you’re guaranteed some action!

New players
We welcome all players, young and old, so whether you be of international standard – as with a number of the men’s 1st XI (and 6th XI if you believe all claims to fame!) or you simply fancy playing a game or two and haven’t picked up a stick since those good old days out on the wing at school, then email one of the Club Captains and get the ball rolling, send us an email on bhhc.newmembers@gmail.com. At the beginning of each season, we usually run ‘Back to Hockey’ sessions for those who have been away from the sport for a while. We’ll post details of these sessions here on our website, and on our social media channels. For information about our juniors, please click here>JUNIOR SECTION

Practical information
Based at Blatchington Mill School, our two pitches are only a five-minute walk from the changing rooms at the school while post-match teas and hospitality (with a licensed bar) are five minutes away across the playing fields at the Nevill Pavilion, off Eridge Road, Hove BN3 7QD. For all our fixtures and contact details for team captains, check out our teams pages or our FixturesLive webpage.

Kit
We play in navy shirts (with a red trim) and red socks. Our away kit is white shirts and white socks. You can buy BHHC kit from Fuel Hockey. If you have any queries about purchasing kit, please contact Betti Jordan on BHHC.clubkit@gmail.com

Socials
Hockey aside, the club is a very sociable one, with new members always being made very welcome. There are numerous social nights during the year. If you’re new to the area, it’s an ideal way to get know people in and around Brighton. We’ll look forward to seeing you some Saturday night soon and you can check the calendar for the latest events.

Umpiring
The club are always looking to progress their players and encouraging them to umpire. Umpiring, as a skill, is invaluable to a player. It increases their knowledge of the game and its rules, gives the player an opportunity to observe other players' skills close-up and promotes a sense of empathy to the officials resulting in more respectful play on pitch - which in turn leads to more positive games.
This year, England Hockey are running a number of training courses, and you can find the full list of courses on the England Hockey website.
For those who umpire, as remuneration, the club allows one free match for each game they umpire.
