Goalkeeper Training

As well as being included within the main men's and ladies' training sessions, the club also arranges fortnightly specialist training for goalkeepers. See the club calendar for the full training schedule. Keepers should arrive early and be kitted up and ready for the start of the session.

1st and 2nd Team Training

The Men's and Ladies' 1s and 2s run an extra half hour of training on their respective evenings. There is a supplemental fee of £30 per season for this session.

Juniors' Training

Pay and Play

Cambridge South offers informal "pay and play" hockey at Long Road Sixth Form College almost every week, all year round.

You don't have to be a club member to come along and new players are very welcome. There is the option of higher and lower level small-sided knock-around games, each on a half pitch, or a full pitch all-abilities game on Fridays.

"Lower" games are for players in the 4s and below, and those looking for a more relaxed hockey. "Higher" games are more intense and competitive, for players in the 3s and above.

To play, pre-book for a session via Spond. If you’re new to the club, contact , to be registered with us on Spond. The cost is £6 per session or £4 for students and the unwaged, payable on the night via contactless payment.

If you're new to the club, your first session is free!
