Our Club
President's Welcome,
Welcome to the official website of the UNSW Hockey Club. As one of Sydney’s premier Hockey Clubs we have teams for men, women and juniors across all skills and abilities. We are located 2km from UNSW’s Kingsford Campus and have our own brand-new water-based playing surface that is used for training, winter competition fixtures and a twice-yearly social summer series.
We have a diverse membership based comprising of students, associate members, and even junior players. The club celebrated its 70th Anniversary in 2022 which also was our most successful year yet, winning seven premierships including our first ever women’s Metro League 1 title and men’s Premier League 1 title, our first since 1985. We have a proven track record with current and past Kookaburras and Hockeyroos playing amongst our teams.
At UNSW, we believe in having a fun and inclusive culture. Whether you are picking up a stick for the first time or about to play for Australia we would love to have you at the club. If you are looking to get fit and play some hockey or want to make new friends and are looking for something social, UNSW Hockey Club is the place to be with our ever evolving club culture. To learn more about how you can get involved please view our men’s, women’s, and junior’s pages.
I look forward to catching up with all our returning members and hopefully meeting new faces around the ground this year.
Nick Hancock
2025 President
