Welcome to Bridgwater Hockey Club

Selection Policy

As part of the preparation for the new season, the team selection policy has been updated and re-issued by the Committee.

It is available on the website here, and is used as guidance to all captains when selecting players for Bridgwater teams.

Membership Forms for this season now online. If you're an existing member, and you've signed up to emails from the club, then you should receive an email from Sue Chaplin, the Membership Secretary. If nothing has changed, then if you confirm by email, then there is no need to complete a new form.

Level 1 Umpiring Course comes to Bridgwater!
This is a one day course in Bridgwater, at Chilton on Sunday 10th September.
It really couldn't be nearer.
If you fancy taking the first steps and qualifying as a Level 1 Umpire, then this would be the perfect course for you.
Members have to book and pay for the course themselves directly at England Hockey at the link below, but if you end up umpiring for the club, then the club will reimburse course fees, depending on the number of games you do!

Also remember that umpires are rewarded for their effosrt on a Saturday, offsetting the costs of match fees.

Pre-season Training starts Tuesday 1st August (7:00pm-8:00pm) at Chilton Trinity

Pre-season training for all starts on Tuesday 1st August at Chilton Trinity. Let's see how many people we can get to attend to start the preparations for the 2017/18 season. Even if you can't attend for the whole session, the captains will be pleased to hear from all those who plan to play next season so that planning can begin on selections for the league season which starts in September for the Ladies and October for the Mens teams. Cost will be £2:00 per player
