STRIVING FOR GREATNESS
ON AND OFF THE FIELD
Leeds Beckett Field Hockey is one of our largest sports teams boasting 10 teams between male and female with one of the most vibrant social scenes of any club. We have teams competing in a number of leagues, from our performance athletes to those playing recreationally, Leeds Beckett Field Hockey offers something for everyone. Over the past few years the club has won several awards, including Leeds Beckett Club of the year twice and an award for special contribution to sport at the Leeds Sports Awards.
As part of the Field Hockey programme you’ll also receive specialist Strength and Conditioning sessions alongside nutritional assistance. LBU players are following in the footsteps of England greats such as Sam Quek & Kirsty Mackay, both Olympic gold medal winners!

Everything you need to know
Train to win
The Leeds Beckett Field 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. These are all underpinned by the state-of-the-art facilities we have at our Headingley Campus, especially the purpose built astro-turf pitch specifically for Field Hockey. The team trains around 3 times a week depending on which team you’re in, and will likely take up around 10-15 hours of your time weekly. The training programme is designed to fit around your studies so you can get a great education while playing your sport at a high level.
