Clubs – What’s coming up and what you need to know!

CLUBS – WHAT’S COMING UP & WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW! 

As we approach the end of the 2025-26 season Scottish Hockey has been busy launching our new strategy: Shaping the Future of Hockey in Scotland and hosting various school and club events! To see what is coming up have a look on our events page! 

AFFILITATION 

Our focus now turns to our next few months and the key information clubs will need to affiliate for season 2026/27. A huge thank you to the clubs who completed this for last season! 

In line with our new strategic priorities – We will profile and share our support for clubs on a number of platforms including social media, email and webinars to support club leaders in their responsibilities to deliver safe hockey. 

TIMELINES TO NOTE: 

Club Affiliation

  • Reopens in June but clubs can get started now by having the prerequisites up to date to affiliate with the foundations for a safe and organised club – clubs have until the end of June to re-declare their affiliation information or make changes. For most clubs who have information up to date this will be a short process. If you need any support our Development Team are on hand.
  • In order to affiliate for 2026-27 season clubs are required to have the 5 core documents (see here) in place.
  • If you require more support to meet the minimum operating standards, please get in contact.
  • The prerequisites for safe and well organised hockey need to be completed before clubs can finalise and pay for their registration.   
  • *Please note, additional Child/Adult Wellbeing & Protection in Sport courses will run throughout the summer to support Safeguarding Officers obtaining certificates. 
  • Please ensure your committee roles are updated on Sport80 especially after club AGMs where roles may change!
