MENS HOCKEY AT WISBECH TOWN HC
Hockey is a fun, and exciting sport for everyone.
Wisbech Town HC has four Mens teams, catering for all abilities and experiences. The Mens 1st XI currently plays in East Area Men’s Division 1 North, with the 2nd XI promoted to Division 2 North West last season. The 3rd team compete in Division 5 North West, with the 4th XI in Division 6 North West.
Players must be aged 13 or older to play Senior hockey, though they are permitted to train with Senior teams from 12-and-a-half, in order to help them adapt to demands of Senior hockey. Wisbech Town HC strongly encourages progression through our various teams - from Junior right through to our 1st XIs.
You can find details on Senior training times here, and information on how to join Wisbech Town HC here.
NEW PLAYERS
WTHC welcomes new members of any ability - whether you have played before, or are totally new to the game. For beginners, there are club sticks available to borrow initially (until players purchase their own); but WTHC strongly recommends all players wear a gum shield and shin pads (as well as bringing a drink) for all training sessions.
For 2022/23, WTHC is extending its introductory scheme, with the first three sessions FREE for new players; after this, players will be invited to become a WTHC Member.
Please Note: when signing up a new Under 18 player, we require a parent or guardian to sign up on the Teamo app as well - to ensure Safeguarding measures are maintained.
You can learn more about Teamo, and membership at WTHC, here.
