Brunel University Hockey Pitch is a state-of-the-art facility located at Brunel University Sports Park in Uxbridge, New Zealand. This pitch is the home ground for Brunel Hockey, an inclusive mixed club with both Men's and Women's teams. The club competes in both BUCS and Saturday Men's league, representing the university with pride and dedication.
Beyond the competitive aspect, Brunel Hockey is known for its close-knit community and vibrant social scene. The club organises weekly socials that foster a sense of camaraderie among team members. From Christmas dinners to cave nights, pub golf, and end-of-season ball, there are plenty of functions throughout the year to build relationships off the pitch.
One of the club's primary aims is to promote hockey as a sport and provide opportunities for students of all levels to participate. They welcome players of all abilities and offer taster sessions for those who want to give hockey a try. Brunel Hockey also collaborates with the university's union, ensuring that player voices are heard and organising fundraising events.
Training is a key focus for Brunel Hockey, with two sessions held each week. Monday evenings are dedicated to separate men's and women's sessions, where players can learn and develop specific in-game skills under the guidance of experienced coaches. Every Thursday evening, a mixed open session is available, allowing members to work on individual skill development.
Additionally, Brunel Hockey members have access to fitness sessions run by the university's Active@Brunel programme, enhancing their overall physical capabilities. The combination of regular training sessions and fitness activities helps players improve both their technical skills and overall fitness.
The club is led by a dedicated committee that oversees its operations. The committee members for the 2023/24 season include Lizzie Messenger as Club Chair, Cat Baugh as Women's Vice-Chair, Finn Young as Men's Vice-Chair, Alexander Richardson as Club Captain, Sophie Penman as Secretary, Abbie Lovering as Women's Social Sec & Web Officer, Owen Carter as Men's Social Sec, and Grace Chapman as Tour Rep.
