Member Value: How to Claim Your 2025/26 Benefits
As a member of an affiliated club, your individual membership fee is paid by your club as part of your annual subs, rather than directly to England Hockey. This ensures that administration is minimised and every player is properly protected and supported, while providing the resources to grow the game for everyone.
While the annual fee is £15.50 for adults and £10 for U12s, the total tangible value of the benefits below exceeds this considerably. Use this guide to ensure you are getting the full value of your membership.
