Badgers Hockey:
We run two badgers teams that play league fixtures on Saturdays during the season. Our ‘White Sox’ team plays in a West Midlands league and our ‘Red Sox’ team in an East Midlands league.
Badgers matches are for juniors under the age of 16 who are not playing regular adult hockey. They are 11-a-side teams help bridge the gap from junior to senior hockey and tend to include one adult playing alongside the juniors.
Age Group Hockey:
Our age group teams play matches against other clubs. We field U8s, U10s, U12s, U14s, U16s and U18s age group teams.
U8s squads tend to be mixed, 4-a-side teams playing a tournament style fixture each month against other Leicestershire clubs (on a Sunday)
We run both U10 boys and U10 girls 7-a-side teams. Matches take place on a Sunday (normally once per month) in a tournament style against other clubs across Leicestershire and the Midlands.
Our U12 boys and girls each play in a Midlands league, with fixtures on a Sunday.
Towards the end of the season, our U10s and U12s boys and girls enter the Leicestershire County Championships, with the winners and runners up progressing through to Regional Midlands Finals.
Our U14s, U16s and U18s boys and girls have the option to play in a Midlands league and also the EHA cup.

International Honours:
Liam Barker, one of our previous juniors, was selected for the England U18 squad a couple of years ago. Liam had been training and playing for Ashby HC from the start of his hockey career and it is a fantastic achievement for him and the club that he received his international call up. He is now playing at University, but still returns for some summer league cameos and to support his brothers who still play for Ashby HC.
