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. Given the range of abilities we have in the club, we make sure each session has elements everyone can engage with. First time picking up a stick? No worries! We split our training sessions into different groups based on ability and confidence, so everybody can be comfortable and engaged. We also have a good combination of competitive and friendly matches – whether you are a casual or competitive player, we have something for you!
​
Two sessions a week are run by our Training Secretary, Luke Brown, where we practice new drills and have friendly match play. The other session is run by our external coach, Luke Garner, giving our members professional training by a qualified coach.
Hockey sticks can be provided; however, we recommend having a decent pair of astros or trainers, some shin pads and a mouth guard if you want to play competitively for us!

We run free taster sessions at the start of term 1 and term 2, 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. We understand that that university life often demands other commitments alongside studies, so there’s no pressure to attend every training session.

Furthermore, attendance is not obligatory for playing in league matches; match squads are picked on a 'game by game' basis - everyone can sign up to play in a match, irrespective of training attendance or ability. We encourage everyone to play! 

​If you have any further questions on matches,  ​feel free to contact our club captain Ella Ralli.

UWMXDHC HAS NO TRIALS OR INITIATIOnS

We believe that university sports teams should have an inclusive, friendly and supportive environment. Therefore, we are one of the few sports teams at Warwick University that have no trials or initiations - making us a truly inclusive club.

SOCIALS WITH UWMXDHC

We make sure there is something for everyone in our social timetable, hosting many exciting socials throughout the year. Most weeks you can find us at the SU’s club night Pop!, where we dress in quirky costumes and ‘circle’ in The Copper Rooms. Circling is a Warwick University tradition and important to use here at UWMXDHC. We can’t give too much away before you join us, so make sure to join and come along to one of our more relaxed Sunday circles at the start of term 1, or any circle throughout the year.

Drinking not your thing? Not to worry, we have a whole host of sober socials planned throughout the year, and in previous years we have overseen events such as club dinners, paint-balling and going to trampoline parks and water parks!
​
All of our socials are run by our lovely social secs Brooke Clements and Kaitlin Hollow. If you have any questions about socials, feel free to message them!
