At the heart of Royal Navy hockey is the competitive Navy Cup, played by mixed unit teams. Players at all levels can take part and it’s a brilliant opportunity to play alongside fellow service members.
If you’re looking for the buzz of higher-level competition, you can also train to play at inter-service tournaments across the country and around the world.
For those who want to get involved in the sport beyond playing, you can also get support with development and training in coaching and umpiring.
