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. Two sessions a week are run by our Training Secretary Luke Brown, where we practice new drills and play friendly matches. The other session, usually our Thursday training slot, is run by our external coach, Luke Garner.
We make sure each session has elements everyone can engage with, given the range of abilities we have 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. 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 session at the start of term 1, 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 you're also at university to study and may also have other commitments as well, so don't worry if you can't make every training session.
Attending every training session is not obligatory for playing in matches with UWMXDHC; match squads are picked on a 'game by game' basis - everyone can sign up to play in a match, irrespective of training attendance or overall hockey 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 INITIATIOnSWe 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

|
From bar crawls to laser tag, we make sure there's something for everyone in our social timetable, hosting many exciting socials throughout the year! Most weeks we head to the SU's weekly club night POP! where we dress in some quirky outfits and "circle" in The Copper Rooms. Circling is a Warwick University tradition and very important to us here at UWMXDHC. Of course, 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!
Drinking not your thing? Don't worry! As well as circling, we also have many sober socials where we get together for activities such as trampolining, club dinners, paint-balling or going to the water park!
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!
