Comprising over 200 senior members,
we are the largest actively competing club at
the University, and one of the largest Hockey
clubs in Sydney, experiencing phenomenal growth
over the past 15 years. No wonder we are 5times
winner of the UTS Union "Club of the Year"
trophy (1996, 1998, 2000, 2002 and 2008)
The men compete in Premier League
of Sydney Hockey Association. This is the top
level of grade hockey in NSW. Lower grades compete
in SHA Divisions 2 and 3. Our four top women's
grades compete in the Sydney Womens Hockey League
Divisions 2, 3, 4, and 6, and our women's veteran
team in Div 3. Women's first grade compete in
Metro Division Two, one grade below the top grade
for women in NSW. We also have 2teams competing
in the Sunday afternoon/evening competition run
by Sydney North Hockey Association. Current UTS
students have the opportunity to compete at East
Coast Challenge and Australian University Games,
against Uni teams from around the country. Having
14teams allows us to cater for all standards of
player, from beginner to International.
Outside the regular winter season, members can join indoor, summer and mixed teams.
On the social side, the Club runs
Cocktail Parties, Trivia Nights, Pub Nights, Presentation
Dinners and Xmas Parties, which allow members
and their friends to meet students from other
teams and other faculties within the University.
Our club pub, the The Union Hotel, is the usual
meeting place for players and supporters after
games on the weekend.
UTS Hockey Club is affiliated with the UTS Union, and enjoys substantial financial and administrative support. The funding we receive is used to subsidise playing fees, uniforms, training facilities, and allows us to employ top coaches for all teams.
Membership is not exclusive to UTS students or graduates, so if you are interested in joining UTS Hockey Club, email us ASAP on info@utshockey.org.
