CALLING ALL HOCKEY TEAMS!

In association with Scottish Hockey we'd like to help raise funds for the Scotland men's national hockey team to compete at the World League Semi Finals 2017 in London this June, and what better way to do it than hold a fantastic one day hockey event!

Scotland’s senior men’s hockey squad has exceeded all expectations and qualified for the World League semi-finals in London this June. Now the squad needs your support to take them further than they’ve ever gone before. Qualifying for the World League semi-finals is a tremendous achievement for Scotland - this is the first time a Scotland team has ever qualified for the World League semi-finals, and the Scots now have the opportunity to play for a place in the Hockey World Cup.

If you play for, organise, captain, coach, wash for, make the cakes for, an U14s or an U16s team then we want to hear from you! (Especially if you make the cakes......)

We will be running a 6 a side tournament for Mixed U14s & Mixed U16s on the 13th May at Mary Erskines School, Edinburgh and all proceeds are going to the cause! So if you're a club team, school team from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee and everywhere in between or you'd like to enter with your friends - SIGN UP and join us!
