In March each year, the 1XI compete in varsity against Marjon Uni. This is a huge match that the whole club watches, with a massive social after!

We have 2 hockey balls per year (Winter & Summer) with the men's club. We also have mixed club events; Alumni Weekend, Movember and Club Day. Each year we organise a tour, with past destinations including Amsterdam, and Italy!

Fundraising and Volunteering:

We take part in many volunteering projects, for example, coaching hockey in schools and beach cleans. We also fundraise for various charities by entering the Plymouth 10k and half marathon, running bake sales, 24-hour danceathons and hosting club days.

In March 2023 our 2s and 3s raised over £2,200 for Breast Cancer UK and Mind for our 'True varsity' event.
