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 both the 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!!
We have over 310 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.
Beyond the hockey
The hushed, sacred words that are ‘Wednesday Nights’ are the buzz words which speak a thousand words to all university students, whether you’re in a sports club or not. Alongside our renowned Wednesday socials we also have team socials within each squad that can vary from local curry nights to lazerquest. Further to this, there are Saturday socials, general university events to go to and occasions to support the men’s hockey team who we work closely with throughout the year. We’ve built a positive social and professional relationship with LUUMHC over the years and maintain this with joint events and support.
We are incredibly proud of our charity work and in the last 4 years have raised over £48,000 for charity. 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.
We are a club with high standards, a tight inner network and a positive, friendly and sociable appearance.
We are here to not only make our members time at university memorable, but to also make a difference in the local community and on campus.
Our Executive Committee
Kasey Butler
Club Captain
Hiya lovelies, I’m Kasey and I am going into my 4 th and final year at Uni. As a result, I thought to myself what’s the best way I could spend my final year? And voilà here I am as the club captain of biggest and best society at Leeds Uni. I’m just saying if that doesn’t show you how great LUUWHC is then I don’t know what will! But if you don’t trust my word alone then come along and get involved yourself, I solemnly swear you will not look back!
So, if this does interest you feel free to hit me up at butlerkasey2@gmail.com.
See you in September my friends!

Hey! I’m Brook (some even call me cider brook) and I’m your transport gen sec this year! Although my life revolves around hockey aka the best society in the union, I am also going into my 3rd year studying Natural Sciences. When I’m not on the pitch or in terrace, I will be organising your buses and transport to your Wednesday and Saturday fixtures! All I’m saying is that you should look forward to Wednesday away days…! Any questions, give us a shout!
Sophie Sole

Hi guys, Sophie Sole here and I’m goinginto my third year studying BA Geography, and penultimate year of counting the days until the next Saturday hockey game. Often found: in terrace, at a Wednesday social, or getting dropped. This year I am the fixtures gen sec, which means I am responsible for organising all the Saturday fixtures, umpires and registration of players at the start of the year. I’m also Kasey’s helping hand alongside Brook and between us I’m sure we’ll be able to help you out if you have any questions!
Derry Young

Hello Hockey darlings, I’m Derry and I’m your new treasurer for this year. I’m studying Actuarial Mathematics, and I’ll be here to keep our finances nice and healthy. Despite being one of the worst players in the 8’s LUUWHC was by far my best Uni decision and I’m sure I speak for the whole committee in saying welcome to the best club on campus/ in the world. So, I look forward to seeing everyone’s fancy dress and another fantastic year of hockey, get the face paint ready girls!!
