Back 2 Hockey this summer, 2026

Come and try hockey at Hailsham's Back 2 Hockey sessions this summer. We have both men's and women's sessions taking place at Hailsham Academy from Wednesday 5th August. Whether you have never played, haven't played for ages or just fancy trying out our club then this season is a great time to join us. We can even lend you a stick and/ or shin pads to get you going. This is open to those 16+. There is no upper age limit!

As a club Hailsham benefits from a newly resurfaced pitch, new floodlights and investment in key areas such as goals, dugouts and training equipment. Hailsham has multiple teams at various levels for all genders, so all are welcome.

You can turn up to any of our Back 2 Hockey sessions, all of which are FREE.

Mixed Hockey

As well as our Saturday teams we also enter a mixed team into Sunday leagues, cups, friendlies and tours. You can either opt in for this as a player in our other sections or you can simply play with us on match days and tours with no training. We welcome players from other clubs that simply want regular mixed hockey. Why not join us in the summer for our FriYay social mixed hockey. Just £5 per session. This is taking place every Friday from Friday 19th June until 14th August inclusive.

If you are looking for hockey and you are under 16 we also have a junior section. Junior training runs in line with the East Sussex school term dates. These are on Wednesdays 6pm-7.30pm. See the junior section of the website for more information or email us. info@hailshamhockey.co.uk
