Our Club culture
We play the right way
We ask all of our players, Junior and Senior, to play in the ‘right’ way – to be positive, friendly & to support each other.
Our aim is a positive environment in which players of all ages can enjoy hockey, develop their skills, and play competitively to the best of their ability, free from negativity and pressure.
We do want to be competitive but not at all costs. We ask our players to play fairly and to always treat umpires, opponents, coaches and teammates with respect.

About Our Club
Big enough to play, small enough to care!
We started playing hockey in Evesham in 1900. We’re proud of our history and over 120 years later we’re still going strong developing the club and our players.
We have two Men’s teams and one Women’s Senior teams, who both play on Saturdays and train on Tuesday evenings through the season from September to March. Through the summer we run fun, social hockey sessions and play Mixed hockey.
We have a thriving Junior section with three different age groups – Cubs (age 6+), Juniors (aged 8 to 11) and Badgers (from 12+).
Our Junior sides allow our young players to develop their hockey skills in a friendly, inclusive environment against other similarly skilled players. When they’re ready they move up through the Juniors and onto the Senior teams.
