About the club
Hailsham Hockey Club was Founded in 1902, and during the 2001-2002 season celebrated it's centenary.
Hailsham is a small club, fielding on Saturdays 3 men's, 2 ladies, 1 boys development side and 1 mixed side on a Sunday.
We have an occasional men's veterans team, and an active junior section whose members play in The Millers (boys development side in the Sussex Development League), and the Ladies 2nd XI in the Ladies League, and mini hockey festivals and tournaments.
Hailsham positions itself as a community club. We aim to provide hockey for the town of Hailsham, in the town of Hailsham.
As far as possible within the boundaries of the sport we aim not to discriminate and welcome new players to the club of any playing age, or social members.
We currently have 4 qualified coaches, 8 qualified senior umpires, 4 foundation umpires, but are always looking for new members to participate in coaching and umpiring activities.
We provide support to the Sussex Hockey Association: the current Treasurer is a playing member of the club, and the Sussex Under 14 and Under 16 boys coaches are from Hailsham.
We also host the Sussex Development Centre for Under 13 boys for the East part of Sussex. This involved 2 club coaches helping to develop the boys in preparation for county Under 13 trials.
So if you are interested in playing for a fun friendly club that is active in all areas of local hockey, then please contact Martin for more details.
