Established in the early 1950’s, Basingstoke Hockey Club began life sharing a small pavilion at Odiham’s Cricket ground. Consisting of 2 teams and only around 30 members at the time, the Club today has a playing membership of almost 500 members, enabling us to field 6 Men’s teams, 7 Ladies teams, 11 Youth teams and a mixed team! The Club is represented in a range of leagues, including local and Southern and National, so you’ll certainly find a team to suit you!
The home of Basingstoke Hockey club is located within the Down Grange Sports Complex off Pack Lane. It is perfectly located for hockey lovers, placed right next to the astroturf pitch and has plenty of changing rooms for teams. The Clubhouse itself has recently been upgraded and refurbished and now also includes full disabled access.
The Clubhouse can be hired for events, and boasts a fully licensed bar, catering facilities, dance floor, conservatory overlooking the astroturf pitches, and in the summer we have a marquee on our first floor terrace too!
Basingstoke Hockey Club’s home of Maidenwell Pavilion offers the perfect setting for a really fun, inclusive, and sociable Hockey Club and events venue
Basingstoke Hockey Club has very close links with the local schools and run training sessions for children from 5 to 14 every weekend through term-time. We have a fantastic Junior membership and always welcome new young members to come and try hockey out with us. In fact we have a number of hockey ‘families’!
We also partner with local charities and run fundraising events throughout the season.
It’s a friendly and lively Club where new members are always welcome. Apart from the playing side the social scene stretches far beyond ‘just’ hockey. Families and friends are always welcome to the Club! There are regular social events including a Pub Quiz, End of Season & Christmas Dinner, plus plenty more!
On match days tea and coffee facilities are always available in our conservatory as well as high chairs and toys for the children in their own designated area. What’s more it’s great for the stay-indoors sports fan as our conservatory overlooks the astroturf pitch!
