Whether you play hockey casually or for a club at local, regional or national level, TeamBU Hockey welcomes talented players who are keen to progress in their sport.
BU has a strong and progressive hockey programme with a well-established partnership with Bournemouth Hockey Club (BHC), with women’s and men’s 1st XI’s both in the South Central Regional Premier League. BU students have the opportunity to represent BHC on Saturdays across the club’s teams, accessing extra coaching and playing more games through the season.
The hockey programme and BHC are based at Chapel Gate– our 65-acre sports facility located just outside of Bournemouth – and make use of the two dedicated hockey pitches (one of which is a full size, sand-dressed, floodlit pitch) for all home fixtures.
Adam Tapper is the Head Coach for the Men’s and Women’s TeamBU squads and is also is BHC Men’s 1st XI coach, along with supporting the Women’s 1st XI set-up at BHC.
We have four men’s and women’s teams who compete in British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) leagues and competitions:
Men’s 1st team
Women’s 1st team
Men’s 2nd team
Women’s 2nd & 3rd team
