Berkswell and Balsall Common Hockey Club

The Club

Quote from the Chairman -

“Berkswell and Balsall Common Hockey Club have firmly established itself as a club committed to providing hockey for people of all ages and abilities. One of the club’s primary ambitions is to always have fun. The Club has grown continually over the past 10 years, introducing new teams and now formal training sessions. Last year was the most successful season in the club’s history with the 1st XI men securing promotion into West Midland Division 1 and the successful launch of a men’s 3rd XI.”

The club currently runs five sides, three men’s sides of which two are in the Midlands league and one is friendlies side. One Ladies team, which plays in the Midlands league and a mixed side that goes touring both in the summer and winter. The mixed side is mostly for fun, however it has won the University of Warwick mixed 7’s tournament two years in a row.
