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.

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!

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!
