TRAINING TIMES:
TRAINING WITH UWMXDHC
Here at Warwick Mixed Hockey Club we want to give our members a chance to improve their hockey ability in an inclusive and enjoyable atmosphere. Our Tuesday session is run by our training secretary Billy Arnold, where we practice new drills and play matches. Thursday sessions are run by our external coach Luke. Our Sunday sessions are either home matches, or if the match is away any players not in the match can come for chilled match play.
We make sure each session has elements everyone can get involved in as we have a range of abilities in the club. We also make sure to play a good combination of friendly and competitive matches – so whether you are a casual or a competitive player we have something for you.
Never picked up a stick before? No worries! We spilt our training sessions into different groups based on ability and confidence. We will provide hockey sticks, however, we do recommend having a decent pair of trainers, some shin pads and a mouth guard if you want to play competitively for us!
At the start of term one we will be running free taster sessions which everyone is welcome to attend. Keep an eye out on the club's social media for more info!

commitment to uwmxdhc
Unlike most other University Sports teams, we do not require mandatory attendance at our training sessions. If you join our club and can't make a couple of training sessions, no worries! We understand that you are not at university to just play hockey, you're here to study and have a good time too!
We understand that continued attendance requires a high level of commitment and hence attending every training session is not mandatory to play in UWMXDHC matches. Matchday squads are picked on a 'game by game' basis and anyone can sign up to play in a match, irrespective of attendance at training or overall hockey ability. If you have any further questions on matches,
feel free to contact our club captain Matt Pledge.

UWMXDHC HAS NO TRIALS OR INITIATIOnSWe believe that university sports teams should be an inclusive, friendly and supportive environment. Therefore, we are one of the few sports teams at Warwick University that has no trials or initiations- making us a truly inclusive club.

SOCIALS WITH

Throughout the year we have many exciting socials, from bar crawls to paint balling we make sure there's something for everyone in our social timetable. Most weeks we head to the SU's weekly club night POP! where we dress in some crazy outfits and "circle" in The Copper Rooms. Circling is a Warwick uni tradition and here at UWMXDHC we take it very seriously. We can't give too much away unless you join us, so make sure to come to our Sunday circles in term 1 or any circle throughout the year. If you want to be invited drop Rai or Oli a message
Drinking not your thing? Don't worry! As well as our weekly circles, we also have many sober socials where we get together for activities such as trampolining, club curry night, paint-balling or going to see an ice-hockey game!
All of our socials are run by our lovely social secs Oli Bradbury and Raihan Papilaya. If you have any questions about socials, feel free to message them!
