CLUB INFORMATION
On this site, the Club plans to keep you up to date with the latest news, results and activities off the pitch. For more information, please click on the tabs above but here is a brief summary of Spalding Hockey Club with its family based ethos.
League teams The Club will again run 8 senior league teams in the 2011/12 season with 5 men's teams in the East League and 3 Ladies teams in Cambs Premier, 1st and 2nd Divisions.
Juniors The Club has a thriving junior section with coaching sessions being held on Saturday mornings and during school holidays. The young players are given the opportunity to play friendly and competitive hockey from under 9 through to under 16 age groups. For junior details, please click on 'JUNIORS' above.
Adult Beginners A social occasion on Friday evenings for adults who want to have a go at playing hockey. Many of the current players are parents and / or those who have not played since their schooldays and just fancy having a gentle run-out. Why should the youngsters have all the fun?
Venue The Club moved to its brand new pitch set in the attractive surroundings of Glen Park in Surfleet in June 2009. The pitch has a 'Revolution' carpet - the first of its kind in the world - which is playing and looking magnificent.
Clubhouse. The final piece in the jigsaw. Plans are in place to build changing and clubhouse facilities on site. Strenuous efforts are being made to secure the necessary funding and it is hoped that there will be permanent facilities in place before too long.
Social. The Club has an active Social Committee which organises events on a regular basis
Membership. The Club relies heavily on its Youth Development Policy which allows young players to progress through the junior ranks into the senior league teams. Whilst the majority of the Club's playing members are home grown, we welcome newcomers of all ages and abilities to the Club whether as players, umpires or administrators. Please check the CONTACT and TIMES tabs for more details or contact Fred Morris 01775 724832 e-mail fredricmorris@yahoo.co.uk
Glen Park This attractive 10 acre park has something for everyone with its popular children's activity area, picnic site, woodland walk and adult outdoor gym in addition to a football pitch and open grass areas - and of course there is the floodlit all weather pitch. Tree and shrub planting is almost complete on the site which looks splendid at all times of the year.
ClubsFirst Accreditation. England Hockey renewed the ClubsFirst Certificate on 7th April 2010 for a period of 3 years. In awarding the certificate, England Hockey has certified that Spalding Hockey Club has met high quality standards in;
- Developing young people in hockey
- Safeguarding and protecting young people

- Club management
We look forward to seeing you.
