Welcome to Leeds University Union Women’s Hockey Club’s website, the home of the largest university hockey club in the country. With 8 teams playing in BUCS, Yorkshire League and North League we cater for everyone, whether you have never picked up a stick before to playing hockey for your country, we want you!
Brand new for the 2020/21 season is the merger of our 1st XI with Leeds Hockey Club for Saturday hockey, giving the girls the chance to train and play more than ever before and hopefully produce some club superstars!
We have over 350 members from different years, degrees and backgrounds all playing matches each Wednesday and Saturday. LUUWHC prides itself on our high quality coaching, training, welcoming nature and overall great team results.
More than just a hockey club…
We love our sport and Wednesdays are of course for the girls but we are so much more than just a hockey club. We have socials every Wednesday night for our members to celebrate or commiserate the results of the day, charity events such as our Challenge for Champions, Race Night and Karaoke Night and lots of team bonding during the year – anyone fancy an Akmal’s?
Every year we aim to raise over £10,000 for our chosen charities, often smashing our targets through the hard work and dedication that our girls put into our fundraising events. We achieved the position of BUCS National Club of the Year in 2014 not just because of our sporting abilities, but because of the fantastic work that every member of our club has done for our community. Over the last two years, countless members of our club have won Club Colours and Full Colours at the Leeds Sport Colours Awards and we have also had two White Rose Award winners!
We really are a club for everyone, from socials to community outreach to helping you with your studies, and we’re here to make your university experience the best that it can possibly be!

Hi guys, I’m Alice and I’m your new transport gen sec for this year. I’m going into my 3rd year of LUUWHC (and of lesser importance, psychology), and can often be found in terrace, fruity or on a Wednesday social- trust me they’re not to be missed. This year I’ll be organising your transport for Wednesday and Saturday matches, aswell as being a helping hand for Brook. If you have any questions give me a bell, can’t wait to meet you all in September!

Sophie Tingle
Treasurer
Hello everyone, I’m Tingle and I’m going to be the Treasurer of LUUWHC for the 2019/20 season! I’m going into my final year studying Economics and Finance and my role will be to ensure the smooth running of the club’s finances. This means making sure your money is being used in the best possible way to support the club and make your LUUWHC experience the best it can be! Joining LUUWHC has genuinely been one of the best decisions I’ve made at university. If you want to play a great standard of hockey, and make memories with an amazing group of people, you won’t regret deciding to be a part of it!
