Representative Master’s hockey. There are 16 representative teams to field each year. Age Groups are every 5 years, Men’s O35 to O75 and Women’s O35 to O70 as well as official friendly tournaments for Men's O80s and Women's O75s. For 2025 we are looking for players born in 1990 or before.
What to know about playing Area Masters, it’s fun and competitive. Each age group tournament could be held anywhere in England from Ben Rhydding to Bristol, Southgate to Wakefield and venues can change from year to year. It is played over a weekend, usually in May or June. Pre-tournament assessment and training will be held somewhere in the South East area. It is not just players we are looking for; we also need managers, selectors, and coaches to step forward. There is nothing stopping you managing at one age group and helping select at another. Should you wish to volunteer please contact Kay Parsons.
Masters’ hockey is self-financing, this currently means all training, tournament costs, accommodation, transport, and kit is paid for by players.
