Club Membership 2025/26
England Hockey's upgraded membership package brings unparalleled support, access, and opportunities for clubs and individuals, helping the sport thrive, on and off the pitch.
Welcome to the New England Hockey Membership Model (Launching September 2025)
As we look to the future of hockey in England, we’re thrilled to introduce an upgraded membership model that brings unparalleled support, access, and opportunities for clubs and their members. Starting September 2025.
The new membership changes will have a significant positive impact on the future of hockey in England. There are three new elements to membership, and one factor is the increased visibility of the sport, which will be supported by free-to-air broadcasts on Channel 4. While this broadcast partnership will help raise awareness, the real driving force behind the changes is the focus on getting more kids playing hockey in state schools. With the backing of School Games Organisers (SGOs), this initiative will open up opportunities for young people to experience hockey and spark long-term interest in the sport.
In addition, the changes will ensure that more coaches are available in clubs through free coaching courses. As the sport becomes more accessible and engaging for youth players, the need for qualified coaches grows, creating a self-sustaining cycle. This increase in coaching capacity will support the development of young talent, ultimately expanding the player pool across the country and strengthening the future of hockey in England.
This new model isn't just about membership - it’s about driving your club's success and elevating the experience for every player by building a future-focused and inclusive hockey community. Whether you're working to develop your coaching staff, boosting participation, or simply love the game, this membership is built to benefit your club and every individual within it.
