ON AND OFF THE FIELD
Leeds Beckett Hockey Club is one of the largest clubs at the university with three Men’s, four Ladies’ and a mixed team all competing in regular competitive fixtures. We accommodate players of all standards from complete beginners looking for recreational hockey to international players wanting performance level hockey. Away from the pitch we have a vibrant social presence with weekly socials, as well as showing a keen interest in charity work.
The Leeds Beckett Hockey team provides players with the best training programmes available. That’s why here at Leeds Beckett our players have access to performance coaching, strength and conditioning sessions, analysis and physiotherapy.
Men’s and ladies’ 1st XI’s players can expect to train around two times a week. Sessions will be a combination of pitch sessions, strength and conditioning and analysis sessions. The remainder of the club train one to two times a week. All teams compete in BUCS fixtures on a Wednesday with social events taking place weekly post-match.
All programmes are designed to fit around your studies so you can get a great education while playing hockey at your preferred level!
