F.A.Q.s

What do I bring to my first session?

Come dressed to play sport, wear trainers and bring something to drink. If you have shin-pads bring those too (we usually have one or two spare pairs at colts) and we have hockey sticks of assorted sizes you can borrow. We play in all weathers (except under snow/ice).

A gum-shield is recommended for games. We usually have a limited stock of gum-shields available to buy if needed (about £4).

How much does it cost? (Sunday Colts)

Colts (Under 18s) pay a membership subscription of £85 for the season.

This cost covers all colts' hockey on Sundays - training, games and tournaments (home and away) - this is the only fee you pay for the whole season! If you join halfway through the season a discount is applied (please ask for details).

Your subs go towards the cost of pitch hire and insurance, training, safeguarding and first aid courses for the coaches, and equipment (balls, goalkeeper kit, etc.).

If there are three or more family members playing for BBHC, each membership is discounted by 10% If the total cost of playing feels prohibitive please talk to us so that we can make arrangements to assist with costs.

How much does it cost? (Adults)

For the new 2024-25 season, full adult membership + 20 matches is £65 per month for 6 months (paid by direct-debit during September - March).

Discounted membership for students/Under-21s/unemployed + 20 matches is £35 per month for 6 months (paid by direct-debit during September - March).

Discounted subs are available if you join halfway through the season and for family members. Please ask for details.

The subs include match fees cover the cost of pitch hire and insurance, training, safeguarding and first aid courses for the coaches, and equipment (balls, goalkeeper kit, etc.).

Social membership, for non-playing members is £20.

BBHC - is that Bexleyheath or Belvedere?

Bexleyheath and Belvedere Hockey Club was formed in 1997 from the merger of Bexleyheath Hockey Club (founded in 1923) and Belvedere Hockey Club (founded in 1921).

BBHC is part of Bexleyheath Sports Club. Our clubhouse is in Welling, where Bexleyheath Cricket Club, Bexleyheath Tennis Club and Plumstead Runners also call home.
